The Indiana Pacers vs. the Boston Celtics battle it out on the court at Boston's TD Garden in Massachusetts on Saturday, March 1 at 8:00 p.m. EST. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the Saturday night basketball game online and catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

The Pacers currently hold the no. 2 spot in Josh Martin's NBA power rankings for Bleacher Report with an impressive 44-13 winning record:

So far, so-so for Evan Turner with the Indiana Pacers. He tallied 13 points and six rebounds in his Pacers debut and followed that up with eight points (on 2-of-10 shooting), six rebounds and three assists in a way-too-close win over Milwaukee.

After just two games, though, it's far too soon to judge Turner's effectiveness as the newest member of Indy's bench mob. His all-around skills should shine through once he settles more comfortably into his more limited role, which pales in comparison to the freedom he had with the tank-tastic Sixers.

The Pacers will need Turner to be a difference-maker to some degree. Their bench has been among the league's least productive this season, despite a summer overhaul that brought Luis Scola and C.J. Watson to the Circle City.

Indy won't need much from its reserves to succeed in the postseason, but the more the team can get out of Turner, the better its odds of sailing through the early rounds and upending Miami will be. 

Meanwhile, the Celtics snag the no. 24 spot out of a total of 30 teams with a 20-39 winning record:

For anyone out there who's at all upset about Rajon Rondo staying in L.A. for his birthday party while the Boston Celtics traveled upstate for a game against the Sacramento Kings last week, I have three simple words to offer.

Get. Over. It.

For one, Rondo was due to have the day off since he's not yet at the point where the team wants him to play on consecutive nights. I know he's the captain and all, but is it really that important that he be forced to sit through Boston's 105-98 loss in person? The guy flew his family and friends out to L.A. for the occasion. It's not like he was about to leave them hanging.

You might take issue with Rondo not seeking permission from his coaches or at least giving the front office plenty of notice. Then again, it's not as though Rondo's been granted any courtesies over the years from GM Danny Ainge, who's dangled his All-Star point guard on the trade market ad nauseam pretty much from the time Rondo first arrived in Beantown.

Rondo's birthday hiatus may not have been the classiest move he's ever made, but I can't say I disagree with his reaction to the media's coverage of it. "It's my business," he told CBS Boston. "It's my choice." 

The game will be broadcasted live on local stations CSNNE and FSIN, but fans can also listen in on the radio at WBZ 98.5WEEIWIBC1070 The Fan, and WMRI ESPN.
