Listen Live: Indiana Pacers vs. Boston Celtics | Eastern Conference Finals

The 2024 NBA Eastern Conference Finals featuring the Boston Celtics and the Indiana Pacers begins on Tuesday as both teams battle for a chance to reach the Finals in June.

Both teams’ journey to the finals has been anything but easy; the Celtics defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers in five games while the New York Knicks took Indiana all the way to game seven.

In this series, the Celtics’ Jayson Tatum will likely go toe-to-toe with the Pacers’ Tyrese Haliburton. Tatum’s ability to score from anywhere on the court and his defensive versatility will be crucial in countering Haliburton’s offensive threats.

Another critical matchup is in the paint, with Boston’s Al Horford and Indiana’s Myles Turner. Turner’s shot-blocking and rebounding skills are vital to the Pacers’ defense, while Horford’s experience and leadership could be key in tipping the scales in Boston’s favor.

For the Celtics, Derrick White’s defensive tenacity and ability to hit clutch shots could prove crucial. His role in disrupting the Pacers’ backcourt and providing timely offense will be essential. For the Pacers, the emergence of Bennedict Mathurin as a scoring threat off the bench could be a game-changer. His explosive scoring ability and fearless approach have provided Indiana with a much-needed spark, and his performance in the finals could be a deciding factor.

The tactical battle between Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla and Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle adds another layer of intrigue to this series. Mazzulla, in his first year as head coach, has impressed with his ability to manage the Celtics’ deep roster and make in-game adjustment, while Carlisle, a seasoned veteran with a championship pedigree, brings a wealth of experience and strategic ingenuity to the Pacers.
