The Pacers can't be eliminated in their best-of-seven series tonight, but going down to the Celtics 0-2 would be a likely death sentence. Luckily for Indiana, they may catch a major break, as Boston standout Al Horford may not be available:
The Celtics are already without Marcus Smart (torn oblique) so losing Horford would be another big blow. The veteran forward had 10 points and 11 rebounds in their Game 1 win and has averaged 12.5 points per game against the Pacers this season.
