This should be another exciting showdown between the Celtics and the Pacers. Brown has torched Indiana over the last two seasons, averaging 24.4 points and 8.8 rebounds across 5 games. The rebounding floor has been extremely high with 7 being the fewest he’s grabbed. Although Indiana’s defense has been a bit better of late, that has only been an improvement to about league average over the last two weeks. One area Indiana has struggled to defend against is shooting guards who can get to the rack. Dejounte, Bane, and Ant have all had strong performances recently. This is a Pace Up spot against Indiana, and he has averaged 27.5 PR on the season but 33.2 against Indiana the last two seasons. I like Brown to exceed 27.5 PR tonight against the Pacers.

IND +5.5-105
