Story byJustin Quinn, Celtics WireWed, January 21, 2026 at 2:34 AM UTC·2 min readThe Boston Celtics will be looking for some revenge against the Indiana Pacers after letting a game slip away to the worst team in the NBA in terms of record at the time of their last meeting. It will be the last tilt of the 2025-26 NBA regular season for these two Eastern Conference ball clubs, and it could be impacted by the availability of some key players as it was in their last game. We expect the Celtics to win this contest regardless, but be on the lookout for Boston looking past their opponent on Wednesday evening, their fatal mistake last time around.
