The Pacers have been the 8th-highest scoring offense in the NBA since the start of last season.The 3rd-quickest pace team in the league since the start of last season has been the Indiana Pacers.With the home court advantage, the Celtics have given up the 6th-least offensive boards per game (9.8) in the NBA to opposing teams since the start of last season (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore lead to fewer opportunities for scoring and assists).Aaron Nesmith has successfully made 84.7% of his free throws while at home since the start of last season, placing him in the 80th percentile among all players in the NBA.This matchup is a challenging one for getting to the charity stripe; opposing squads have attempted a measly 20.9 free throws per game when the Celtics are the visiting team since the start of last season (2nd-least in the NBA).
