The Indiana Pacers will welcome the Philadelphia 76ers in their next outing in the NBA. The Pacers are currently fifth in the Eastern Conference, 6.5 games clear of their 11th-placed visitors. Read on for our prediction of this match.

The Pacers won the most recent encounter with the Sixers 121-107 a month ago to tie this series at 1-1. They had lost in OT in the first game back in October at home.

With their excellent form coming into this match, they will be confident of another win. Rick Carlisle’s men have won seven times in their last eight games.

They defeated the Pistons 111-100 away from home last time out to return to winning ways. This was their 23rd win, moving them four games above .500.

The Sixers have lost four straight games. This slump has seen them drop nine games below .500. Nick Nurse’s men have struggled all season but remain within striking distance of the playoff places.

In their current losing run, the Sixers have lost to the Pelicans, Magic, Thunder and Knicks. Against the Knicks in New York, they came undone in OT 125-119.

The Sixers are beginning a three-match road trip. They will be without Joel Embiid for the three games due to injury. Paul George, Guerschon Yabusele, Caleb Martin and Kyle Lowry are questionable.
