The matchup vs. the Boston Celtics is a tough one; they have allowed the 2nd-least points per game in the league to the opposition's starting PFs this year (14.5).The Boston Celtics have played at the most lethargic tempo in the league this year, which should lead to fewer plays for the Indiana Pacers.The Indiana Pacers have been the worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 10 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate further chances for scoring and assists).This year when they are at home, opposing starting PFs have attempted 3.1 free throws per game (8th-fewest in the league) against the Celtics, facing an uphill battle to get to the free-throw line.
