The Pacers are coming into this game with a 25-55 record overall and they are 9-30 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They are coming into this game on an 8 game losing streak. Their last win was against the Portland Trail Blazers while their 8 losses since then have come against the Sacramento Kings, the Memphis Grizzlies, the Toronto Raptors, the Atlanta Hawks, the Denver Nuggets, the Boston Celtics, the Detroit Pistons, and the Philadelphia 76ers in their last game. Buddy Hield led the team in points in that game with 25 while Tyrese Haliburton was next on the team with 21 points. Buddy Hield, Tyrese Haliburton, and T. J. McConnell all led the team in assists in that game with 5 each while Buddy Hield led the team in rebounds with 11. They were 47.9% from the field, 30% from 3-point range, and 95.2% from the free throw line with their shooting in that game. Their offense is averaging 111.2 PPG and their defense is averaging their opponents to average 114.5 PPG against them. The Pacers have an ATS record of 36-42-2 this season and their O/U record is 45-34-1.

 

 

The 76ers are coming into this game with a 49-31 record overall and they are 22-17 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have won 3 of their last 4 games but are coming into this one off of a loss in their last game which snapped a 3 game winning streak that they were on. Their 3 wins in that span were against the Charlotte Hornets, the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Indiana Pacers while their loss came against the Toronto Raptors in their last game. Joel Embiid led the team in points in that game with 30 while Tyrese Maxey was next on the team with 22 points. James Harden led the team in assists in that game with 15 while Joel Embiid led the team in rebounds with 10. They were 49.3% from the field, 52.8% from 3-point range, and 84% from the free throw line with their shots in that game. Their offense is averaging 109.6 PPG and their defense is averaging their opponents to average 107.2 PPG against them. The 76ers have an ATS record of 37-42-1 this season and their O/U record is 37-41-2.

 

 

The 76ers are coming into this game off of a loss in their last one but they have still been playing very well in their games. They had won 3 straight games prior to that loss and they only lost by 5 points on the road to another team that will be in the playoffs this season and possibly even their 1st round matchup. The 76ers still have a chance to avoid the Raptors team that they just lost to and they can move up into a better seed with a few more wins. They only have 2 games left this season so each game is very important for their seeding and their last 2 games are against the Pacers and the Pistons as well, two teams that are near the bottom of the Eastern Conference. They are going up against a Pacers team here that has been awful in their recent games losing 8 straight but they have been keeping their games closer recently, losing their last 4 games by single digits. The 76ers will be looking to get that win back here at home but even in their last 2 wins they have not been blowing teams out. They will likely win this game by single digits around the same as they beat the Pacers the other night.
