The Boston Celtics are a perfect 4-0 to open the season, and they’ll look to extend their win streak to five as they travel to Gainbridge Fieldhouse to face the struggling Indiana Pacers on Wednesday.

Indiana is just 1-3 and will look to get a much-needed home win in this Eastern Conference Finals rematch which tips off at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN.

For Wednesday, my Celtics vs. Pacers player prop bets will try to find the Pacers' lone bright spot during their rocky start and will focus on a couple of Celtics playing at an elite level.

Tatum is off to a hot start this season, scoring 30 or more points in two of four games and averaging a healthy 28.5 points per contest. His big scoring numbers have come largely due to his hot start in the opening quarter of games.

Tatum leads the NBA in first-quarter points at a whopping 13.5. Through four games, he’s shooting 62.5% from the field and 53.3% from beyond the arc in the first quarter.

Indiana is tied for sixth in most first-quarter points allowed, offering a favorable spot for Tatum to cash the Over 9.5 on Wednesday. He’s scored at least 10 first-quarter points in three of four games thus far.

Pascal Siakam over 33.5 points + rebounds + assists ⭐⭐⭐

Best odds: -105 via DraftKings | Implied probability: 51.22%

Pacers star guard Tyrese Haliburton has struggled mightily in the season's opening games, and big man Myles Turner isn’t off to his best start. The Pacers have had trouble getting much from their starters as they’ve limped to a 1-3 record, except one bright spot.

Siakam is the team’s leading scorer and rebounder and ranks second in assists. He’s averaging 18.5 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 5.3 dimes through four games. He’s helped to pick up the slack for teammates with his strong play.

Spicy P has hit the Over on this line in two of four games, and the Pacers will need him to be at his best tonight if Indiana hopes to secure a much-needed victory.

Expect Siakam to take advantage of Boston’s shallow frontcourt depth by attacking the basket and crashing the glass.

Jaylen Brown Over 31.5 points + rebounds ⭐⭐⭐

Best odds: -110 via BetMGM | Implied probability: 52.38%

Like Tatum, Brown is off to a great start this season. He leads the Celtics in rebounding at a career-best 7.8 per contest and is getting more involved with Kristaps Porzingis out.

Brown has also been tremendous as a scorer, dropping 26 per game as the team’s second-leading scorer. After failing to hit the Over on this prop in the opener, he’s done so in three straight heading into a favorable spot against Indiana.

Indiana has allowed the 11th-most points and 11th-most rebounds this season, offering Brown the opportunity to shine again. He averaged 29 points and 5.7 rebounds in nine games against the Pacers last season and hit the Over on this prop six times.
