IND Pacers +7 Point Spread (-112)

Pascal Siakam to Score 25+ Points (+280)

Derrick White Over 2.5 Made Threes (+102)

Same Game Parlay odds: +539

IND Pacers +7 Point Spread (-112)

Indiana heads into this one after 3 consecutive wins, all 3 without Haliburton. There’s a good chance he returns tonight, which makes backing them to cover as 7-point underdogs very tempting. They’ve already beaten the Celtics twice this season, the last meeting took place in Indiana 3 weeks ago and the Pacers came out on top 133-131, Haliburton did not play in that game. With him back and the addition of Pascal Siakam, who is playing really well with his new team, I rate the Pacers’ chances quite high here.

Boston just played a Game against Zion Williamson and the New Orleans Pelicans last night and after wrestling with the big fella down low for most of the night, their defenders might run out of energy here. Indiana is known for playing a fast style, they lead the NBA in pace and offensive rating this season, facing them on a 2nd night of a back-to-back is not ideal. The Pacers have covered in 6 of the last 9 meetings and are currently on a run of 9-1 SU in their last 10 Games vs Eastern Conference teams. Back them to cover as road underdogs here.

Pascal Siakam to Score 25+ Points (+280)

Siakam has made a really good impression so far with his new team, they’ll need a big time performance from him tonight if they want to get a result against the best home team in the NBA. He’s played the Celtics already 4 times this season as a member of the Toronto Raptors, averaging 21 points on over 48% shooting from the field. He’s cleared this line 6 times in the last 10 Games against them, and twice in his last 4 visits to TD Garden, including his last Game at the end of December this season when he had 27. I don’t think the Pacers will rely too much on Haliburton to score here, hamstring injuries are tricky, I still expect him to rack up the assists and who better to turn to than the newest addition to the team? Let’s roll with Siakam to have a big night here.

Derrick White Over 2.5 Made Threes (+102)

White three-point shooting has been erratic lately, but he’s been more hot than cold over the past week or so. He’s coming into this Game after 4 threes made in last night’s win over the Pelicans, that was the 6th time in 8 Games he’s been able to clear this line. I’m expecting the pace of tonight’s Game to be at a high level, that should help the numbers of quite a few players involved. Indiana ranks only 19th in three-point defense this season, allowing opponents to shoot 37.4%. On the road that number goes up to almost 39%, dropping them in the bottom 6 of the NBA. He’s put up some impressive numbers vs the Pacers in the last 5 meetings, posting averages of 15.6 points per Game and an average of 2.8 threes made. He’s also shot 50% or better from downtown in 3 of those Games, so let’s hope those numbers carry over to tonight’s Game.

OpenAI in talks to raise new funding at $100 billion valuation

 OpenAI is in early talks to raise a fresh round of funding at a valuation at or above $100 billion , Bloomberg News reported on Friday, citing people with knowledge of the matter. The terms, valuation and timing of the funding round have not yet been finalized and could still change, the report said.

QL Heroic Efforts Lead to drаmаtіс reѕсue: Elephant Trapped in Well for 5 Hours Finally freed

A heartwarming гeѕсᴜe mission unfolded in Sri Lanka’s eastern province as wildlife and forest officials worked to save a four-month-old baby elephant that had fаɩɩeп into a 6-meter well. Local villagers heard the calf’s cries and discovered it trapped in the well in Alimulla, Ampara. The гeѕсᴜe team fасed сһаɩɩeпɡeѕ due to protective elephants, including the calf’s mother, standing nearby. Firecrackers were used to create a safe distance, and a Backhoe machine was employed to dіɡ around the well and remove the cement Ьɩoсk, allowing the baby elephant to be ɩіfted oᴜt after hours of effort. The calf was treated for its woᴜпdѕ before reuniting with its mother and retreating to the nearby forest.
