Game Preview

The Philadelphia 76ers aren’t playing as they should. They are currently outside the NBA play-in zone, trailing two games behind the Chicago Bulls while we write this one.

Joel Embiid, the former NBA MVP, is still day-to-day, and we don’t know the exact return date. Therefore, the Sixers can’t fully count on their starting center. The Process has been averaging 24.4 points with 7.9 boards and one block across only 13 games played this year.

The Indiana Pacers are hot right now, with an 8-2 record in the previous 10 events. Their most recent victory came in Detroit against the Pistons this Thursday night, 111-100.

With this victory, they are now No.6 in the East and hold the positions that directly lead to the playoffs. Furthermore, the Pacers have the same record as the Magic and are half a game behind the Milwaukee Bucks who are fourth.

When Tyrese Haliburton hits his turbo mode, everything is much easier for the Pacers. The point guard has averaged 20.9 points with 9.1 assists and 49.6% FG over the previous nine appearances. We might say that he’s back in his All-Star shape.

76ers vs. Pacers Head to Head

Both teams have one win each in the previous two events this year, both on the road. The Sixers defeated the Pacers in Indiana, 118-114, while the Pacers triumphed in Philly, 121-107.

76ers vs. Pacers Prediction

With or without Embiid, the 76ers are a weaker team than the Pacers, at least for the moment. Indiana is in better shape and we bet on their win here.
