Boston Celtics vs Indiana Pacers - Game 1 - Highbet Preview - NBA Playoffs 2024

Who’s going to win Game 1?! The Boston Celtics welcome the Indiana Pacers in their opening game in the series that leads to the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Celtics started the playoffs by eliminating the Miami Heat by 4-1. Then, they faced the Cleveland Cavaliers and once again the Celtics won the series by 4-1.

The Pacers on the other hand started the playoff journey against the Milwaukee Bucks. In this exciting series, the Pacers won by 4-2. Then, they faced the New York Knicks. This match-up turned into a 7 game series drama in which the Pacers beat the Knicks by 4-3.

However, now both the Celtics and Pacers are starting from zero, so it will be very interesting to see who will step into the series with a triumphal performance in TD Garden.
