The team's offensive prowess has been particularly noteworthy. In their last three outings, the Celtics have scored 126, 145, and 144 points respectively. Their shooting efficiency has been off the charts; they shot over 50 percent from the field in each game and displayed lethal accuracy from beyond the arc with three-point shooting percentages of 31, 47, and an astounding 52 percent.

Defensively, while there is room for improvement given that they allowed over 100 points in each contest (115 against Los Angeles Lakers, 108 versus LA Clippers and another high-scoring affair against Sacramento Kings with 119), their offense has more than compensated for it. The team's ability to maintain a positive point differential speaks volumes about their ability to control games even when defensive lapses occur.

The Celtics' assist-to-turnover ratio also tells a story of smart basketball – consistently above three – which indicates that ball movement is generating high-quality shots while minimizing mistakes. Moreover, bench contributions have been significant as well; scoring depth will be crucial as they face off against Indiana.

Playing at home at TD Garden adds another layer of advantage for Boston. With passionate support from their fans and familiarity with the court dynamics could provide an extra boost towards maintaining their winning momentum.
