Pacers vs 76ers Injury Report

The 76ers will be without KJ Martin, Caleb Martin, Joel Embiid, Kyle Lowry, Andrew Drummond, and Jared McCain. Guerschon Yabusele and Paul George are questionable.

The Pacers won’t have Isaiah Jackson or James Wiseman.

Pacers vs 76ers Prediction

The 76ers have half their rotation on the injury report, and they’re 3-7 SU and ATS in their last 10 games. It’s hard to get behind the 76ers with confidence given the constant lineup changes and there’s no rhythm on the court. The Indiana Pacers have gotten healthier over the last few weeks, and it’s not a coincidence they’re 8-2 SU and ATS in their last 10 games. Form and injury-wise, the Pacers and 76ers are heading in completely different directions. The only pick in this spot has to be the Pacers in a comfortable home win. I’ll lay the points with the home team.
