NBA Odds for Monday, December 4, 2023

Boston Celtics at Indiana Pacers

• Opening Point-Spread: Celtics -4.5
• Opening Money-Line: Celtics -200
• Opening Total: 240.5
• Time: 7:30 p.m. ET (TNT)

The opening game of the In-Season Tournament quarterfinals takes place in the Hoosier State between the Boston Celtics and Indiana Pacers.

The Celtics are the only road favorites among the four quarterfinal contests, but Boston owns a dreadful 1-6-1 against the spread record in their last eight games when laying points away from TD Garden.

However, Boston had its way with Indiana in its first meeting this season back on November 1 in a 155-104 blowout as 13-point favorites.

The Pacers are by far the top Over team in the league by cashing in 16 of 18 games, including in that loss to the Celtics.

Indiana has struggled at home of late by losing three of its last four games at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, but the Pacers are 2-0 SU/ATS as a home underdog this season.

New Orleans Pelicans at Sacramento Kings

• Opening Point-Spread: Kings -4
• Opening Money-Line: Kings -180
• Opening Total: 235
• Time: 10:00 p.m. ET (TNT)

The Sacramento Kings made plenty of headlines last season by capturing the Pacific Division title as they seek the In-Season Tournament title with three victories this week.

However, the Kings need to find a way to get past the New Orleans Pelicans, who have defeated Sacramento twice this season. The Pelicans won Group B in the Western Conference, but own an 11-10 record on the season.

New Orleans beat Sacramento twice as a home underdog last month, but the Pelicans have picked up only three road wins in nine opportunities this season.

The Kings are 6-2 at Golden 1 Center this season, which includes recent wins over the Warriors and Nuggets. Sacramento is 6-1 to the Over in its last seven home games, while New Orleans is 4-1 to the Under in its past five road contests.
