Bookmakers experts consider Boston to be the clear favorite of the upcoming match. In their opinion, Indiana will have very little chance of success. However, one can argue with them. Indiana lost to the Celtics in the last five face-to-face matches. The teams' games are always close and with a lot of fighting. Rick Carlisle charges will definitely not give up the game without a fight and will try to please their fans with a fighting lineup.

Bet on individual total
Boston showed excellent performance last season. The average is 120.1 points per game. And in home matches it is a little higher - 123.9. And this time everything is going to the fact that the Celtics will be able to improve their statistics in a game with not the most formidable opponent.

Tatum played 75 games in the regular season and averaged 26.6 points per game. The 26-year-old forward certainly hasn't lost his core skills over the summer. Jason will be able to cause a lot of trouble for the opposing defense.
Our prediction is Tatum total points over 27.5 including overtime at 1.87
