The 76ers have an ATS record of 37-40-1 this season and their O/U record is 35-41-2.

 

 

The Pacers are coming into this game with a 25-54 record overall and they are 16-24 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They are coming into this game on a 7 game losing streak. Their last win was against the Portland Trail Blazers while their 7 losses since then have come against the Sacramento Kings, the Memphis Grizzlies, the Toronto Raptors, the Atlanta Hawks, the Denver Nuggets, the Boston Celtics, and the Detroit Pistons in their last game. Oshae Brissett led the team in points in that game with 20 while Tyrese Haliburton, Buddy Hield, and Isaiah Jackson were all next on the team with 19 points each.

Their offense is averaging 111 PPG and their defense is averaging their opponents to average 114.3 PPG against them. The Pacers have an ATS record of 35-42-2 this season and their O/U record is 44-34-1.

 

 

The 76ers have won their last 2 straight games coming into this one and they have been playing much better recently after losing 3 straight prior to those 2 wins. They completely buried the Hornets with a win by 30 points where they scored 144 themselves, and they followed that up with a win against the cavaliers by 4 points on the road. They are going up against a Pacers team that has been awful recently and is coming into this game off of 7 straight losses. They have not been playing awful in their last games as they still lost but the games were much closer, with their last 2 losses coming within 5 points of their opponent. The Pacers have also had a revolving lineup in their last few games, with a lot of injured players they have had to change up their lineup a few times with Haliburton really being the only constant in there. He has been keeping the team afloat so far but their season is almost over while the 76ers are trying to round into shape for the playoffs coming very shortly. The Pacers will likely play a better game here at home and with how they have been playing better recently, they may not get blown out here but they will still lose this game, covering the spread.
