Is that…momentum the Boston Celtics are building?
On the surface, it can be spun that way, yes. The Cs have won four of their last six games, and have knocked off their last two opponents (Indiana Pacers, New York Knicks) at the TD Garden.
But Boston has lost its last six games on the road. And not for nothing, they almost blew this past Monday’s game against the Pacers.
So, these Celtics really only look like a winning team right now because they were playing within their own friendly confines the past two games. Oh, and both opponents are not currently situated in even an NBA Play-in spot right now.
With the Cs picking up the first leg of a much needed back-to-back home-and-home with the Pacers, Hardwood Houdini is here to cover the rematch with odds, TV channel information, and a prediction for tonight’s action in Indy:

Celtics vs. Pacers prediction
The Cs won this past Monday by three points, so do they up their point differential tonight?
Who is to say they are even going to win? This is the 2021-22 Boston Celtics we’re dealing with here, after all.
The Houdini is more comfortable in predicting a higher scoring affair this time around between these two teams with some established recently formed familiarity this past Monday.
