Indiana Pacers vs Boston Celtics Betting Trends
Updated:Dec 26, 2025 1:06 AM EST
The upcoming NBA game on December 26, 2025, between the Indiana Pacers and Boston Celtics at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, IN, promises an exciting showdown filled with strategic gameplay and betting opportunities. Both teams have shown distinct strengths and weaknesses this season, making this matchup a fascinating one for bettors.
The Boston Celtics, led by a 47% field goal percentage and a solid 36.2% from beyond the arc, have been strong offensively and defensively with an offensive rating of 119.4 and a defensive rating of 113.0. The Indiana Pacers, while struggling with a 42.9% field goal percentage and a lower 32.1% three-point shooting accuracy, have a slightly higher defensive rating of 115.5, indicating tougher defense but less scoring efficiency. The Celtics average 116 points per game, compared to the Pacers' 109.2, which suggests Boston's offense is more potent. However, Indiana's home court advantage and their defensive efforts could make this game competitive.
The point spread currently favors the Boston Celtics by 8.5 points, with a total points line set at 221.5. These betting trends indicate that the Celtics are expected to win comfortably, but the Pacers' ability to cover the spread at home should not be underestimated. The Celtics have an 8-6 away record against the spread, and the Pacers hold a 9-7 home ATS record, highlighting a potentially close contest.
Key players to watch include Boston's starting five, who have been consistent contributors, and Indiana's lineup, which despite some questionable injury statuses, is likely to play at full strength. The Pacers' defensive rebounds and Celtics' offensive rebounds will be critical in controlling the pace and possession of the game.
The game will be broadcast on NBCS-BOS, Amazon Prime Video, and FDSIN, allowing fans and bettors to catch all the action live.
