First of all, let's all hope that Victor Oladipo's knee injury last night is less serious than it first appeared, and that it will not be season-ending for him. His season, and that of the Pacers, have been better than anticipated. Should his season come to an end, that should put the Celtics in a better position relative to the Eastern Conference standings and eventual playoff seeding.
Indiana currently sits in third place in the Eastern Conference standings with a 32-15 record, and they have won their last three games.
