The Indiana Pacers are in the midst of a five-game losing streak, after losing to the Denver Nuggets at home this Wednesday. They had only nine available players in the contest.
The shorthanded Pacers were led in scoring by Buddy Hield, who scored 20 points and made 5 of his 11 three-point attempts along with 4 assists.
The Pacers currently stand at 5th in the NBA lottery odds with a record of 25-52. For Indiana, losses arent bad for the team’s future at this point in the season.
Myles Turner is out for the rest of the season along with T.J. Warren but is making good progress. Indiana has just five more games left in the 2021-22 NBA season.

Indiana Pacers vs Boston Celtics Prediction
The Indiana Pacers are shorthanded as they will be the rest of the season with injured players sitting out for the season. Their young core is even depleted missing Duarte and possibly Jackson in this contest, who is questionable to play.
The Boston Celtics were recently the first seed in the east earlier this week, but a tight race has them back in the 3rd place spot. The Celtics had an unfortunate injury to a key contributor in Robert Williams, they will be without him in this game and for the upcoming weeks.
The Celtics however are still one of the best teams in the league and have won seven of their last 10 games.
