NBA In-Season Tournament Preview: Celtics vs. Pacers, Pelicans vs. Kings

The NBA In-Season Tournament continues tonight as two teams’ tickets will be punched for the semifinals in Las Vegas on Thursday.

In the East, the Indiana Pacers, who went undefeated in Group A, will host the Boston Celtics, who won Group C with a 3-1 mark (4:30 p.m., TNT).

The Pacers’ path to the quarterfinals featured three wins against playoff teams from a year ago, all of whom couldn’t keep up with the league’s No. 1 offense. In the four Tournament games, the Pacers averaged a league-best 136.5 points per game. The next closest team in that stat was the Milwaukee Bucks, who averaged 125.
