The Indiana Pacers, believed to be in the midst of a complete rebuild, continue to stand around the Eastern Conference playoff picture as they head to Philadelphia to take on the 76ers.
The Sixers acquired Tyrese Maxey and will now be looking to move up the Eastern Conference standings, three games behind the top seed Boston Celtics, but you’ve got a tough Pacers team to deal with.
What can we expect on Wednesday night? First, let’s check the possibilities:
Pacers vs. Sixers Odds, Spread, and Total
Pacers vs Sixers Prediction and Selection
Both teams are thrashing against the late count, the Pacers dived in eight of the last 10 while the Sixers dived in seven. However, Indiana continued to thrash as an underdog all season, 17-11 ATS. The team has achieved a strong offense that has been ranked ninth in the offensive rankings over the past month, in all NBA.com. NBA helps leader Tyrese Halliburton has a whiz for criminality.
What makes the Pacers a perennial underdog is that they take a lot of three-point shots, which adds contrast to their game. The team ranks fifth in three-point attempts per game and ranks in the top ten in effective field goal percentage.
While the Sixers are an elite team, especially with Maxey back, I see value in backing up a Pacers team that can take a lot from the three and offset the paint dominance of Joel Embiid.
