Boston will need Porzingus to get healthy. His absence was the difference IMO. Might still be able to win the series without him, but it’ll be a battle.

Yeah OKC and Boston I still would favor. Cavs/Pacers I thought was a coin flip series before Indy took game one.
Based on regular season stats - 1 in 38 - [0.246(missed FT) x 0.246(missed FT) x 0.436(made 3)] = 0.0264
Based on playoff stats - 1 in 81 - [0.192 x 0.192 x 0.333] = 0.0123
Garland, Hunter, and Mobley are questionable.
If the Pacers can steal another that would be MASSIVE.

I want a win so bad but as long as they are competitive 1-1 with a competitive loss is an incredible result vs top seed.
I'm sure at some point it will be a jinx but Indiana hasn't lost a home playoff game since they traded for Haliburton.
About 1/30 for that scenario.
I think it was about 1/13 of Chet missing 1 and Denver still hitting a 3 to win.

Seeing they are confirmed without those guys.
Normally I'd say this isn't a must win for team that just stole game one on the road but maybe it is.
Pacers don't seem to be playing very well yet they somehow cut they lead from 20 to 8.
It’s too bad that the parents of the Pacers players didn’t name them all Donovan Mitchell. It seems that would have made a difference in their ability to get calls tonight.
