Celtics 1H -3.5 vs. Pacers

7:30 p.m. ET ⋅ TNT

By Andrew O'Connor-Watts

The reason I like Boston in this spot is because of the matchup. The Pacers knocked the Celtics out of the In-Season Tournament in December, and in the first rematch after that, Boston destroyed them.

Kristaps Porziņģis sat out Monday's game against the Pelicans, so I expect him to play tonight. Tyrese Haliburton announced he would be playing, so we will keep an eye out for him on the injury report.

Pascal Siakam and Haliburton are yet to play with each other. If tonight is the first night, I am interested to see how they work with each other. Myles Turner, Bennedict Mathurin and Jalen Smith are all questionable as well.

Warriors 3Q -0.5 vs. 76ers

10:00 p.m. ET ⋅ TNT

First off, this isn't the same Warriors team of the past. They are coming off a double-overtime loss but are catching Philadelphia in a vulnerable spot.

The 76ers are on a back-to-back and playing their third game in four nights, so I could see their legs getting heavy in the second half.

Stephen Curry was upset after his team's loss to the Lakers, so I can see Golden State coming out with a different energy tonight, especially at home. Whether Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey play or not, I think this is a good spot for the Warriors.
