Celtics vs. Pacers schedule: Where to watch, NBA scores, game predictions, odds for NBA playoff series

The Boston Celtics and Indiana Pacers are battling in the 2024 Eastern Conference finals, and the top-seeded Celtics are just one win away from the NBA Finals. Boston, winners of 64 games in the regular season, took care of business at home to start the series and just became the first team to beat the Pacers in Indiana — they had won six previous home games — during this postseason. The Celtics will go for the sweep on Monday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. 

Indiana All-Star guard Tyrese Haliburton missed Game 3 with a hamstring injury as his status for Monday is still up in the air. Haliburton, the catalyst of the high-powered Pacers offense, hurt his hamstring in the Game 2 loss on Thursday.

Boston’s all-around effort on Saturday was punctuated by Jrue Holiday’s go-ahead and-one layup with just under 40 seconds left. All five of Boston’s starters scored in double figures, led by Jayson Tatum’s 36 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists.

In Haliburton’s absence, Andrew Nembhard had the game of his career with a 32-point, nine-assist performance, making several clutch plays along the way. Pascal Siakam added 22 points and T.J. McConnell put up 23 points, nine rebounds and six assists off the bench.

Here’s everything you need to know as the Celtics and Pacers continue their series:
