The Pacers host the Boston Celtics for the first of four meetings between the two teams this season.
Currently, the Celtics sit in third place in the East, just a half game ahead of the fourth place Pacers. While Indiana has taken care of business against teams with inferior records, they have struggled against stronger teams, most notably in double-digit losses to Milwaukee and Portland.
After not playing great in their last two games on the road but still finding a way to make winning plays down the stretch, the Pacers have a chance to build on the confidence from those road wins a gather an early-season signature win against former Butler coach, Brad Stevens and crew.
