The injury list keeps growing in Boston but so does the Celtics win record as they won their 12th consecutive game, putting six players in double figures, in a 102-90 win over the Atlanta Hawks on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Ray Allen and Glen Davis lead with 18 points each in the win while Boston added Rajon Rondo to a list of wounded that includes Kendrick Perkins, Shaquille O’Neal, Jermaine O’Neal and Delonte West.
\nThe starting point guard rolled his left ankle on a drive in Wednesday’s win over New York and could be out as long as two weeks.<\/p>\n

But the Celts have survived with Nate Robinson in the starting lineup and he is likely to start seeing ton of minutes as each position is just getting thinner and thinner.<\/p>\n

Offensively the team looks fine; it\u2019s the defense that seems to be more of a question. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Pacers snapped a three-game losing streak with a 108-99 win over struggling Cleveland on Friday. Albeit their losses came by way of some of the best teams in the league — Atlanta, Chicago, and the Lakers \u2013the Pacers lost those games by an average of 16 points.<\/p>\n

Forward Danny Granger led the way for the Pacers with a double double, 30 points, and a season-high 12 rebounds while Roy Hibbert and Mike Dunleavy each had 15.<\/p>\n

Granger had struggled during Indiana\u2019s three-game losing streak, but he bounced back to make 12 of 22 shots, including four of seven 3-pointers.<\/p>\n

The chippy game included five technical fouls and an ejection in the fourth quarter. There were seven total technicals in the game.<\/p>\n

Every young team is going to have growing pains and the Pacers are having them while the Celts are one of the league\u2019s oldest teams. Youth versus experience. How will Indiana respond?<\/p>\n

The Pacers haven\u2019t beat Boston since November of 2009 and have lost their last two meetings including a 122-103 defeat in March of 2010. The Celtics are better in every single category including points per game 101.5 to 98.3.<\/p>\n

Boston is shooting 51.1 percent including nearly 40 percent from three-point range. The Pacers\u2019 Collision will be tasked with shutting down Allen who leads the Celts with 4.8 per game.<\/p>\n

Matt\u2019s Free Prediction: <\/strong> The odds haven\u2019t been posted at the time of this writing, but I am assuming the odd makers will heavily favor Boston in this one. Normally, I would expect the Celtics to take this one by as many as double digits, but with a shorten bench due to injuries and the youthfulness of the Pacers, I expect a close one. If the spread is less than 10, take the Pacers and the points.<\/p>\n
