Boston Celtics vs Indiana Pacers Dream11 Prediction: Dream11 Fantasy Tips for BOS vs IND as The SportsRush helps you form the best Dream 11 team.

A SWEEP!

Well, not just yet, but it is on the cards. Pacers were a very good team with their strong defense in the regular season after losing Oladipo, but the playoffs is a different beast.

Everyone plays tough defense and you need players who can overcome the tough defense to get themselves 20+ points every game and without Oladipo, there is no one on the team that can do that against a Celtics team that has been bringing it every night on both ends of the floor.

Indiana at this point have no chance to get this series after going down 3-0, but we can not count them out of winning a game or two. Okay maybe not two. The Celtics for their part want a sweep.

Bucks look primed for a sweep and their second round match-up will be a really tough one and neither team will want to lose a game now and not only surrender momentum but also come to the game with more mileage and less rest.

Boston Celtics vs Indiana Pacers Dream11 Prediction

Point Guard

Kyrie Irving is averaging over 25 points per game in the series and is the only go to scorer for either team. There is no certainty with star player potential in this series. Take Kyrie and make him your star player and don’t worry about anything else.

Shooting Guard

I have been avoiding shooting guards in this series because of how underwhelming their performances have been and their lack of ability to score. Jaylen Brown was the first to break the pattern in the last game and boy did he heat up. He scored a game high 23 points to go with 7 assists and he shot it at 90% by making 9 out of 10 shots and the only hope from SG position is that he keeps that up.

Small Forward

Gordon Hayward hasn’t had one great game in the series so far, but he also hasn’t had a bad game so far. His 3rd game was his poorest yet and he managed 6 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist which are very low by his standards. The hope here is he improves in the coming game.

Power Forwards

Marcus Morris has been averaging 10+ points and 6 rebounds per game in the series and those numbers aren’t tantalizing in the void, but this is a series that has had a grand total of one 3 digit score when Celtics scored 104 in game 3. So take the points where you can get them.

Thaddeus Young averages 37 D11 points per contest in this series. That is higher than anyone on the Celtics not named Kyrie Irving. Second highest scorer in the series priced at 14 Credits, delivering close to 2.6 points per credit. In a series as low as this in scoring, he is premium property.

Omari Johnson has 0 D11 points this season, he is a filler at his price point, don’t bother reading too much into this pick.

Centers

In a series where points seem to be on such short supply, rebounding becomes the automatic go to for points. Damontas Sabonis and Al Horford both provide just enough scoring and rebounding to make them 3rd highest point scoring players in the series.

Horford is averaging 30 D11 points per contest which is very good and Sabonis is averaging 25 D11 points per contest. That is precious 55 points in this series so snatch them both at 15 credits each.
