The Indiana Pacers will host the Celtics. They are still finding their way and need constant wins to improve their position. They are 12th. In their last game, they beat the Chicago Bulls 117-113.

The Pacers faced off against the Chicago Bulls in their last home game. The Pacers narrowly won 117-113. Buddy Heild scored 27 points, including six from beyond the arc. Aaron Nesmith scored 21 points, and Turner had 17 to lead the Pacers to victory.

The Chicago Bulls had a tough rivalry with the Pacers. Zach Lavine scored 35 points on another high-scoring night. James White scored 25 points, and Nikola Vucevic had 19, but they both fell short.

The Boston Celtics met the Milwaukee Bucks in their last away game. The game lasted until the final quarter and was forced into overtime, where the Bucks secured the victory (131-125). The Celtics are missing some key players due to injury, with All-Stars Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Marcus Smart missing. Malcolm Brogdon scored 26 points for the Celtics.

The Bucks looked good from the start. Jrue Holiday’s offensive performance was terrific, scoring 40 points and seven assists. Antetokounmpo scored 36 points, 13 rebounds, and nine assists. The Bucks’ defensive effort, especially in overtime, got them the win.

Based on recent performances, the Celtics have the advantage, but the Pacers have a lot of tools at their disposal to beat the Celtics. The Celtics also face some injury problems, so they want to win against the Pacers at home; they can’t have any turnovers.
