I’ve said time and time again that I just can’t figure out the Indiana Pacers. When I back the Pacers, they get rocked, when I fade the Pacers, they win. It’s just one of those teams. With that said, I’m just not all that confident in the Pacers as a whole in the favorite role. And while the 76ers are banged up, they’re only losing their last five games by an average of 0.4 points. The 76ers compete no matter who is on the court. Give me the free bucket.
