Indiana Pacers at Boston Celtics: How to watch, broadcast, lineups (12/21)

The 22-9 Boston Celtics will host the 15-16 Indiana Pacers at TD Garden Wednesday night, with both ball clubs owning only one win out of each team’s last five tilts, making for a bit of a desperation match for clubs who began the season with quite different expectations. To Boston’s credit, they will have MVP candidate Jayson Tatum back in the fold after missing a game for personal reasons but might lose other key players instead.

If you happen to be looking for a way to watch the on-court action live on cable television or a local or national online streaming service, keep reading while we get you up to speed on everything else you need to know about the game.
