Pacers vs 76ers Prediction

The Pacers are still trying to work their way back to what they were a couple of years ago. It’s a work in progress as they already have a couple of questionable losses. We’re also seeing a ridiculous, lengthy injury report, and of course that was the issue last season. Not sure what’s in the water in Indiana, but guys are getting hurt at an alarming rate. The 76ers look healthy, and just from that alone, the talent should win here, especially if the Pacers are going to be down half their rotation. Can argue this line should be steeper. Give me the 76ers and the chalk.
