Pick rationale

Analysis & key factors

  • The 76ers vs. Pacers game opens Sunday’s NBA program.
  • Philly is 0-2 in the opening pair of matches.
  • The Pacers have one win and one loss each.

The Sixers and the Pacers are two playoff contenders and dark horses for winning the Eastern Conference. Yes, we know you think Philly is a real contender and one of the favorites, but we don’t believe in that yet. Meanwhile, the Pacers improved last season and are now a respectable force in the East.

Game Preview

The Sixers are 0-2. Doubts about their quality have already appeared. However, knowing Philly’s past and all the failures, it wasn’t too hard for that to happen. Toronto was better than the team from Brotherly Love in Canada last night, 115-107.

Embiid was out, the same as Paul George. Both of them will be out tonight, too. Kelly Oubre had a team-high 28 points, while Tyrese Maxey scored 24, yet shooting pretty badly, 6-for-23, 2-for-12 from downtown.

The Pacers were blown away in New York 123-98. It was one of the biggest losses this franchise experienced in the past year or two, and truly, nothing worked for Indiana.

Bennedict Mathurin was the sole bright spot on their team, scoring 20 points in 24 minutes off the bench. Believe it or not, Tyreese Haliburton didn’t score a point in this one, missing seven threes.

76ers vs. Pacers Head to Head

There were three games in the 2023/24 campaign. The Pacers won the first one, and the 76ers the next two.

76ers vs. Pacers Prediction

Philly is pretty limited without George and Embiid, and these two losses are proof of that. Even though the Pacers lost heavily in New York, they will be our pick here.
