Not a lot is known about the upcoming Eastern Conference Finals between the Indiana Pacers and Boston Celtics.
But NBA fans can agree on one thing: these two teams will shoot the ball a lot.
According to StatMuse, the Celtics and Pacers hold very distinctive spots in NBA history.
The 2023–24 Celtics have the highest offensive rating of all time in a season, followed by the Pacers from this season.
StatMuse claimed that this will be a “high powered Eastern Conference Finals” and that has fans for both teams very excited, and optimistic.

All season long, these two squads have been scoring a lot of points, leading to massive scores night after night.
Now that they are set to face off against each other, fans could be in for a high-scoring series.
While there is no doubt that the Celtics and Pacers will be making a lot of baskets, there will obviously be much more to these games.
A team cannot win a series without strong defense too.
The winner of this series will likely be determined by which team is able to put together a strong and reliable defensive plan.
The Pacers have their work cut out for them but so do the Celtics, particularly because they will be without big man Kristaps Porzingis for at least the first two games.
Most betting sites say the Celtics have the advantage in the Eastern Conference Finals, but the Knicks had the advantage against the Pacers in the semifinals and ended up losing.
Will the Pacers be able to shoot their way to the NBA Finals?
No matter who wins, there will be some explosive offense in this series.
