Boston vs Indiana Prediction: the Opponents Will Reach Total Over

Prediction for the NBA match between Boston Celtics vs Indiana Pacers, which will take place on May 24th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

In the series' first game, the Celtics jumped out to an early lead several times, but their opponent never gave up. As a result, Joe Mazzulla's team still hadn't the lead seconds before the end. But thanks to an accurate three-pointer by Jaylen Brown, Boston still managed to take the game into overtime, where the Celtics won 133:128 (117:117).

The Pacers, in the series' opening game, demonstrated their determination to fight for every point. They got agonizingly close to victory, but their lack of experience in crucial moments cost them the game in overtime. Notable performances came from Tyrese Haliburton (25 points and 10 assists), Myles Turner (23 points, 10 rebounds), and Pascal Siakam (24 points, 12 rebounds).

While Boston plays without Kristaps Porzingis, Indiana has an advantage that Rick Carlisle's team didn't seem to utilize in the first game fully. For the second meeting, the Pacers will adjust, be more varied on offense, and may reach the individual total again. There's little doubt about the total over.
