KEY GAME INFORMATION
BOSTON: General manager Danny Ainge wooed Gordon Hayward away from Utah in free agency only to see him suffer a broken fibula and dislocated ankle on a play less than six minutes into a season-opening loss at Cleveland. All eyes will now be on Kyrie Irving, who was acquired in a blockbuster trade with the Cavaliers that sent Isaiah Thomas to Cleveland. On paper it is an upgrade at point guard, adding a dynamic scorer who can create his own shot. While Boston has plenty of talent, there are also questions that need to be answered. Rebounding is a big one, and another is how exactly how this new 'position-less' starting five will fare on the defensive end. Some combination of Marcus Smart, Terry Rozier and rookie Semi Ojeleye are expected to be more involved than initially planned in an effort to fill the void created by Hayward's injury. The Celtics are set up for the future with Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum, but it's unclear if this group as constituted has enough firepower to dethrone the Cleveland as East champions.
INDIANA: Paul George's departure completely changed Indiana's game plan. Rather than making moves like a potential championship contender, new president of basketball operations Kevin Pritchard decided to rebuild on the fly. Conventional wisdom suggests this team will struggle, and it could. But the Pacers seem to be playing like a better unit and may have just enough to sneak into the Eastern Conference playoffs. Although it's expected to be Myles Turner who replaces George as the face of the franchise, the key to Indiana's success this season will be Victor Oladipo, a defensive stopper who can provide the consistent energy the Pacers were lacking last season. Oladipo's ability to play fast and to share the leadership duties with Turner could finally push the 6-foot-4 guard to have that breakthrough season expected from the No. 2 draft pick four years ago.
PREVIEW
Hot teams Celtics, Pacers face each other
 

INDIANAPOLIS -- The Boston Celtics (17-3), who have won 17 of 18 including a 118-103 victory on Friday night against Orlando, travel to Indiana on Saturday.

They will face the red-hot Indiana Pacers (11-8), who have won five in a row, including Friday night's 107-104 victory against Toronto.

While Boston got 30 points in only 25 minutes from All-Star guard Kyrie Irving against the Magic, it is Irving's desire to win games instead of posting huge numbers that has been at the core of the Celtics' terrific start to a season in which they lost Gordon Heyward to an opening-night knee injury.

Miami snapped what had been a 16-game Celtics winning streak on Wednesday night.

Irving entered Friday's game averaging 22.5 points for a team that now is 8-1 at home and 9-2 on the road.

"The focus is a lot different on a lot of different things when you're younger," Irving said. "Also, it could be different things you're going through where you're going through where you are, or just development.

"You watch the rest of the guys win championships and get accolades that are team-oriented, and that starts to mean a lot more for those players because that's where your legacy is going to be remembered by. It's always good to have those individual accolades, but it's not like being on an unbelievable team."

Celtics coach Brad Stevens has enjoyed watching Irving's maturation.

"It's all about making the right next basketball play, and he sees the game at such a high level," Stevens said. "He has such incredible skill that he is going to draw a lot of attention.

"Sometimes, the right basketball play is to make a kick out, sometimes to make a shot, and Kyrie has made it over and over. He has been terrific."

Meanwhile, Indiana has matured collectively and is 5-3 at home and 6-5 on the road after holding on to beat Toronto on Friday.

"I've never seen a team come together this quickly," Indiana guard Darren Collison said. "Even the best teams with the best talent -- like OKC and the old days when LeBron was in Miami -- it took them a long time to jell. I'm not saying we are as talented as they are, but when you are building a new team, it does take a while. The way we're jelling right now definitely is amazing."

Collison likes the one for all effort the Pacers are putting forth.

"Guys are genuinely positive and want each other to do well," Collison said. "You look at each individual, everybody cares. It sounds cliche, but I think that goes a long way. When you have good human beings on a team, and they want to play with each other and work hard and come in every day and practice, it makes the coaches' jobs easier and everybody's job on the team easier as well.

"Usually it might happen with five of the 15 players that aren't on the same page, doing their own thing. Even the guys who aren't playing, they all are supportive. Obviously, they want to play, but they all are are in it for the team. This is a unique team. Win or lose, this is one of the best chemistry teams I have been on."

Forward Thaddeus Young, who had 12 points, nine rebounds and four steals against Toronto, said this team is not afraid to speak its mind.

"When something needs to be said, we all step up," Young said. "That's the biggest thing between this year and last year, we're holding each other accountable. We're making sure we're sticking to the game plan. When we start to shy away from that, that's when we lose games.

"After losses, we just talk. We try to figure it out. We go back to the drawing board. We're all committed to doing things better each and every day. When we drop games, we feel it wasn't the other team, it was us. We took ourselves out of our offense, we took ourselves out of our defensive schemes. We look at it as self-inflicted pains we have to go through. We're slowly coming along."
