Boston vs Indiana Bets look forward to some revenge getting dished out on Monday night. Now, Bovada online Vegas sportsbook gets into the mood as the two teams face off again in Indiana. Now, can Indiana bounce back and start a new winning streak versus the conference leading Celtics?
Boston vs Indiana Bets is a Boston vs Indiana Do Over on Monday. Now, someday the NBA schedulers will stop doing this. However, yes, the Indiana Pacers host the Boston Celtics again on Monday night. This is after Saturday night’s disaster where Boston easily beat Indiana by 17 and held them to 101 points. Honestly, it looked like the Pacers might not top 100. Boston’s defense was that suffocating.
Give the Celtics a ton of credit here. Indiana came in winning six straight contests and just piled up 150 on Atlanta. That was after a sweep of a home-and-home against the Milwaukee Bucks. Now, the Bucks are far from slouches and the Pacers scored 264 points in those two victories. Indiana leads the league in points scored at 126.8 per contest. Granted, they allow 124.2 but they are fun to watch.
Alright, did Indiana learn its lesson? One of the biggest takeaways from the Saturday game was that rebound battle. Boston hammered Indiana on the offensive and defensive boards. A 56-38 edge is pretty decisive and usually Boston does not grab 13 offensive boards like they did. Also, Indiana rarely shoots that poorly from the field (41.1%). Worse, Tyrese Haliburton had one of his worst nights of the season in the loss.
So, Indiana carries a ton of risk here. Boston often smells blood and goes right after it. However, the Pacers now can get back to playing their brand of basketball. Maybe, Indiana got a bit too full of themselves. Whatever the case may be, Rick Carlisle will have his team more ready and prepared for this huge tilt on Monday. Indiana will be ready for the rematch. Take the moneyline!
Can we get more buzz for Indiana? Boston vs Indiana bets take a look at a few different angles of attack. This is because those NBA Prop Bets allow us to get a little more creative than usual. Again, it means even smaller wagers here. After all, do not risk your bankroll on new trends, data, and research. First, with the Over down to 243.5, that is a reasonable wager at -110 on BetOnline. That is for starters.
So, Boston gave up 127 to Oklahoma City last Tuesday. That cannot be forgotten. It was one of those dream nights where so much went right. That cannot happen every time. However, if there was a nice for the Pacers to spring back to life, this is it. Boston shot 51% from the field on Saturday and that is very plausible (or close) for Monday night. However, Indiana should come closer to that mark too.
Pace of play is one thing and Indiana was stifled as Boston rebounded extremely well and set up their own open looks. Indiana did have chances but could not knock down open shots. Things snowballed from there and that is how a team short circuits a high-octane offense. Carlisle and the Pacers watched tape (lots of it) and mentioned a few ways they can counter this.
So, that +145 number for the Over at 124.5 the Boston vs Indiana Bets is our plan with Indiana. Now, it is a risky game prop but we have been here before. Indiana has too many quality shooters and slashers to go that cold two times in a row. Hey, it is possible but not likely. The last time I saw Indiana shoot 8-for-42 from three-point reason this season was never. Exactly!
Boston vs Indiana bets get funky now. Naturally, we felt the rhythm last week after a solid Monday where Washington upended Texas in college football then Seattle shutout Vegas during the Winter Classic. We seized on momentum with that Boston and Oklahoma City where we tied in the OK City bets with some game props and more. This looks like a good time to capitalize on some opportunities.
Books like the race to 20 for Indiana at +105 and even 25 at EVEN. The 30+ point ones are something that we will leave on the table. Frankly, that is because the money is not kind there and there is always that chance something can go wrong. Sometimes we play it safe even when it appears far more risky.
Yes, we saw Indiana lay that absolute stinker on Saturday night. It was hard to miss. Honestly, maybe that was the best time for it to happen. The Pacers got that out of the way and can focus on playing at that 103+ pace which ranks second in all of basketball. When they close to that 105 number, they are hard to contain. It’s time for them to speed things up.
Numbers have some fun here with Tyrese Haiburton and the Over on three-pointers made. That Over 3.5 rattles in at +125. For 5+ three’s, that jumps out to +220. We will play it safe with the first for now. However, a few dollars on the latter cannot hurt. Look at Myles Turner to hit a few as well (Over 1.5 at +125).
Monday NBA online betting odds are below. Good luck and do not forget Milwaukee plays at home against Utah with revenge on their minds.
