Hibbert had sat out Thursday night’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks due to a sore elbow.
In the last two meeting with the Boston Celtics, Hibbert has averaged 20.5 points-per-game to go along with 11 rebounds-per-game on making 43% of his field-goals, thus making his presence slightly more important for tonight.
The starting unit of this Pacers‘ squad has seen its share of struggles recently, but has been bailed-out thanks to a bench that has been led by Rodney Stuckey and Luis Scola that have helped propel the Pacers to a seven-game win streak, The club’s highest such streak all season.
The Pacers appear to be playing their best basketball of the season right now. Thankfully this is the perfect time to be doing so, as the playoffs are just approaching.
Getting Hibbert back for tonight against a team he matches up against very favorably could be enough to get Indiana their eight win in-a-row and keep them locked in the playoff hunt.
The Pacers take on the Celtics tonight at 7 p.m. in Bankers Life Field house.
