NBA Playoffs: Celtics vs. Pacers – Game 4 Betting Picks
With the playoffs in full swing, basketball betting is hotter than ever. And Kosport Magazine, the leading authority in sports, is here to provide daily picks for the duration of the postseason. We’ll be analyzing each game and making our best bet for our readers. So let’s dive into game 4 between the Boston Celtics and the Indiana Pacers.
Kosport Magazine’s Take
The Pacers came close to pulling off an upset in Game 1, but the Celtics turned things around in Game 2 and dominated their way to victory. After those two games, it seemed clear that Boston was the stronger team in this series. However, Game 3 proved that the Pacers are still a force to be reckoned with, even without their star player Tyrese Haliburton. But unfortunately for Indiana, the Celtics managed to secure another win. Now, as the series heads back to Indianapolis, it’s hard to see the Pacers overcoming Boston again without Haliburton. Our pick for this game is the Boston Celtics with the spread at -7.5.
But there’s more room for profit in this game with the over/under line set at 222.5. In this high-scoring series, we’re going with the over. While the Pacers may not shoot as well from inside the arc as they did in Game 3, they also won’t shoot as poorly from beyond the arc. And with Boston’s offense clicking, we expect this to be another high-scoring game.
But our best bet for this game is in the player prop market. In Game 3, we bet on Andrew Nembhard to go over 12.5 points in the absence of Haliburton. And he delivered with a massive 32-point performance. But now, his point line has been inflated to 16.5 points, and we’re going with the under. Nembhard’s average without Haliburton is just 13.4 points per game, and even in his most recent game without him, he only scored 8 points. We’re expecting a regression to the mean for Nembhard in this game.
So there you have it, our picks for game 4 between the Celtics and Pacers. With the end of the series in sight, the pressure is on for both teams. But with our analysis and insider knowledge, we believe the Celtics will come out on top once again.
