Best NBA Odds and Trends for Every Game Today (Monday, May 27)
By Peter Dewey
The Boston Celtics are just one win away from the NBA Finals, and they're in a prime spot to do that on the road in Game 4 against the Indiana Pacers.
Indiana gave Boston all it could handle in Game 4, covering the spread as a home underdog, but it ultimately blew an eight-point leading in the final three minutes to fall down 3-0 in the Eastern Conference Finals.
With Tyrese Haliburton out, the Pacers couldn't get the job done despite huge games from Andrew Nembhard and TJ McConnell. Now, they'll look to overcome a 3-0 deficit, something that has never been done in NBA history.
Boston is once again favored in Game 4, this time by eight points with Haliburton likely to sit out this matchup after exiting Game 2 early with a hamstring injury.

Boston, on the other hand, is a perfect 5-0 on the road in these playoffs, going 21-19-3 against the spread overall as a road favorite. The C's are 3-2 ATS on the road in the playoffs.
