They’ve struggled on the defensive end where they are giving up an average of 121.6 points per game, the fifth most in the NBA.

Our Philadelphia 76ers vs Indiana Pacers Prediction
Both of these teams come into this matchup in excellent form. However, the Pacers have done the majority of their work so far in their own gym. They'll now play only their third away game of the season against a 76ers team that will be going for its eighth win in a row. Indiana's poor defense will struggle to contain Joel Embiid who should run riot in this game. Our Philadelpha 76ers vs Indiana Pacers prediction is for the 76ers to win and cover the -6.5 spread.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
