Projected line: 171 points
The Celtics are playing this game in the second of back to back games. Indiana had the night before off, but they will be playing their 3rd game in 4 nights, so it's a tough spot for them as well. Boston spent a lot of energy in their comeback win over Orlando last night. Pierce played a season high of 44min and Garnett played 34min. This is a terrible spot for Boston, who is coming from a brutal physical game, while Indiana is coming from a nice road win at Chicago, however they are also on a very tough spot. This will be the 3rd game of the series, with Indiana winning the first two. It was impossible to score easy points on those contests, as Boston shot 11-20 FG and 10-22 FG at the rim, while Indiana shit 11-23 FG and 17-32 FG from the same area. The rim shooting of the 2nd game was the reason why Indiana scored 97 points, as they shot just 37.2% FG. However, with a 22-23 FT shooting and a super edge on offensive rebounds with 20 allowed them to score a lot of 2nd chance points, something that should happen today. Therefore, I believe both teams will struggle a lot on offense tonight and so, I'll take the over in here.
