T.M. Selection: Celtics/Pacers UNDER.

I am on the under in the Boston Celtics vs Indiana Pacers game on Sunday. The Celtics have been very hot lately and they have looked good in a lot of their games. They have been winning a lot lately and they even look great with the defensive effort they've been giving in their games. Over their previous 12 games, they have given up 110+ points 1 time, 105+ points 3 times, and the other 9 games they haven't given up 105+ points in but most of those games they even held the opposing team to under 100 points. I think the Celtics will continue to play well on defense in their games and they have really been clicking in all of these games. It helps that their team hasn't been injured at all lately so I think they will keep up their momentum and play at a high level on defense to win their games like they have been lately. The pacers have been in some high scoring games lately but they haven't really been playing any defensive teams. All the teams they have seen lately are teams that put up a lot of points so they have had to keep up in a lot of their games. I don't think that is going to be the case here though. The Pacers do not have a lot of talented players left after the trade deadline and their team is very young and inexperienced now for the most part. I think they will struggle to put up points in this game and I think they are going to run into a wall when they see the kind of defense they are up against here. The Celtics are way more talented than the Pacers here and I don't think the Celtics will even have to score a lot of points in this game to win it. I am expecting a good defensive effort from that which will keep this a low scoring game. I like the under in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 101-89 Celtics.
