ChatGPT prediction for Boston Celtics vs Indiana Pacers, 22 January 2026.
Boston's talent, depth and TD Garden advantage make them the clear choice. Oddsmakers have the Celtics heavily favored at 1.22 and models peg their win probability near 72–75% with a projected margin around 9.5 points. Boston rebounded from a 104–103 loss in which Jaylen Brown poured in 32 and grabbed 11; he’s expected to play despite a minor hamstring concern, and the Celtics will be motivated to respond at home (26–16).
Indiana’s season has unraveled — their loss to Philly was their 34th and included a brutal 28 turnovers. Pascal Siakam (24 points vs Philly, 23.6 ppg) is a bright spot, but supporting cast and ball security are major issues. Given the mismatch, home court, and price, backing Boston to win straight is the smart, value play against a struggling Pacers team priced at 4.60.

Gemini prediction for Boston Celtics vs Indiana Pacers, 22 January 2026.
The Boston Celtics are poised for a dominant performance against the struggling Indiana Pacers. After a narrow loss to Detroit, Boston will be eager to rebound at TD Garden, where they hold a formidable 26-16 record. Jaylen Brown, coming off a 32-point, 11-rebound effort, is expected to play, ensuring the Celtics' offensive firepower is intact.
Meanwhile, the Pacers are in a clear spiral, suffering their 34th loss and committing a staggering 28 turnovers in their last outing. While Pascal Siakam remains a bright spot, averaging 23.6 points, his efforts alone won't be enough to counter Boston's depth and home-court advantage. Bookmakers reflect this disparity, listing the Celtics at 1.22 compared to the Pacers' 4.60. All signs point to a comfortable Celtics victory, projected by analysts to be a 9.5-point margin.

Boston Celtics win
1.23
Claude prediction for Boston Celtics vs Indiana Pacers, 22 January 2026.
The Celtics enter this matchup as heavy favorites at 1.22 for good reason. Boston's narrow loss to Detroit shouldn't raise alarms, especially with Jaylen Brown performing at an elite level despite minor hamstring concerns. The Pacers, meanwhile, are in free fall, coming off a turnover-plagued defeat to Philadelphia where they coughed up the ball 28 times.
The talent disparity between the second-place Eastern Conference Celtics and the last-place Western Conference Pacers is substantial. While Pascal Siakam provides Indiana with scoring punch (23.6 PPG), it won't be enough against Boston's balanced attack.
The home court advantage at TD Garden, where Boston boasts a 26-16 record, further tilts this matchup. The projected 16-point margin (122-106) seems realistic given the teams' current trajectories. Though the 1.22 odds offer minimal return, they reflect the overwhelming likelihood of a Boston victory.

Boston Celtics win

Grok prediction for Boston Celtics vs Indiana Pacers, 22 January 2026.
The Boston Celtics are set to dominate the Indiana Pacers in this Eastern Conference clash at TD Garden, where home-court advantage has fueled their 26-16 record this season. Despite a heartbreaking 104-103 loss to Detroit on Monday, Boston's stars like Jaylen Brown—who dropped 32 points and grabbed 11 rebounds—are primed for a bounce-back. Brown's minor hamstring issue shouldn't sideline him, and the Celtics' offensive firepower is projected to overwhelm Indiana's leaky defense.
Meanwhile, the Pacers are in freefall, fresh off their 34th loss to Philadelphia, marred by a shocking 28 turnovers. Even with Pascal Siakam shining at 24 points in that defeat and averaging 23.6 per game, Indiana's last-place standing in the West exposes a glaring talent gap against the second-place Celtics. Prediction models give Boston a 72-75% win probability, forecasting a 122-106 victory and a 9.5-point spread cover.
At 1.22 for the Celtics and 4.60 for the Pacers, the value screams Boston—betting $1 on the favorites aligns with the blowout potential, maximizing long-term profitability in this mismatched matchup.

DeepSeek prediction for Boston Celtics vs Indiana Pacers, 22 January 2026.
The Boston Celtics are decisively favored at TD Garden, with odds of 1.22 reflecting their second-place Eastern Conference status and the Pacers' last-place woes. However, Indiana's enticing 4.60 odds offer substantial value, as expert projections give Boston only a 72-75% win probability—below the implied odds. With Pascal Siakam averaging 23.6 points and the Pacers hungry to rebound from a turnover-plagued loss, betting on Indiana provides a high-reward opportunity in a matchup where the underdog could surprise.

Qwen prediction for Boston Celtics vs Indiana Pacers, 22 January 2026.
The Boston Celtics are heavily favored in this matchup against the Indiana Pacers, with odds at 1.22 for the Celtics and 4.60 for the Pacers. The Celtics, despite a narrow loss to Detroit, have shown consistent strength, especially on their home court where they boast a 26-16 record.

On the other hand, the Pacers are struggling, as evidenced by their 34th loss of the season and a high turnover rate. While Pascal Siakam provides a glimmer of hope for the Pacers, the overall talent gap and the Celtics' home court advantage make it highly likelyable that Boston will secure a decisive win.
