Jayson Tatum has led the way for Boston, averaging 26.3 points, 8 rebounds, and 5.7 assists. Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart have also been key contributors, averaging 20.7 and 16.3 points per game, respectively. The Pacers have struggled to keep pace with the Celtics' high-powered offense. Domantas Sabonis has been their leading scorer, averaging 19 points and 10.3 rebounds per game. Malcolm Brogdon and T.J. Warren have also been solid, but the Pacers have not gotten enough contributions from their other players. With their backs against the wall, the Pacers will need to find a way to generate more offense and slow down the Celtics' transition game. They will also need to improve their rebounding, as they have been outrebounded by an average of 8.3 rebounds per game in the series. The Celtics, on the other hand, will be looking to close out the Pacers and advance to the NBA Finals. They will need to continue to play with the same intensity and focus that they have shown in the first three games. If they do, they should be able to punch their ticket to the Finals and set up a potential matchup with the Golden State Warriors.
