The Boston Celtics invade the Gainbridge Fieldhouse to battle the Indiana Pacers on Sunday night.

The Boston Celtics have been one of the hottest teams in the league lately as they’ve won 11 of their last 12 games and they will be aiming for a third straight victory after taking down the Pistons in a 113-104 road win last night. Jaylen Brown led the team with 27 points, Jayson Tatum added 26 points with 11 rebounds and six assists while Payton Pritchard chipped in with 19 points and six assists off the bench. As a team, the Celtics shot 47 percent from the field and 10 of 26 from the 3-point line as they found themselves in trouble against the Pistons, trailing by at the start of the fourth quarter, before going on a pivotal 17-6 run to pull away and escape with the solid victory behind their bench play.

Meanwhile, the Indiana Pacers have been in a major slump as they’ve lost eight of their last nine games overall and they will be hoping to bounce back after falling just short to the Thunder in a 129-125 overtime loss on Friday. Buddy Hield led the team with 29 points, seven rebounds and five assists, Isaiah Jackson added 17 points with six rebounds and five blocks, Jalen Smith scored 16 points off the bench while Tyrese Haliburton chipped in with 14 points and 11 assists. As a team, the Pacers shot 49 percent from the field and 14 of 37 from the 3-point line as they squandered an eight-point fourth quarter lead, before going ice-cold in the overtime period where they managed a measly two points to allow the Thunder to slip away in the end.
