The Indiana Pacers pay a visit to the Philadelphia 76ers at the Xfinity Mobile Arena on Monday night. Here’s a 76ers vs Pacers Prediction. This article will include a 76ers vs Pacers Pick.

Indiana Pacers Betting Preview

The Indiana Pacers have turned things around lately with four wins in their past six outings, but they will be hoping to bounce back after getting embarrassed by the Pistons in an ugly 121-78 road defeat on Saturday. Jarace Walker led the team in scoring with just 13 points, Tony Bradley added 12 points while Isaiah Jackson and Ethan Thompson each scored 10 points but no other player finished in double figures in scoring. As a team, the Pacers shot just 35 percent from the field and eight of 35 from the 3-point line as they got off to a nightmare start and never gave themselves a chance after scoring a season-low 25 points in the first half. Ethan Thompson shot just three of 13 from the field while Kam Jones shot just one of 10 from the field to finish with just two points.

Philadelphia 76ers Betting Preview

Meanwhile, the Philadelphia 76ers have been in decent form lately as they’ve won six of their last 10 games overall. They will be looking to snap a two-game skid in this one after coming up painfully short to the Cavaliers in a 117-115 loss on Friday. Joel Embiid led the team with 33 points on 10 of 22 shooting, Tyrese Maxey added 22 points with nine assists while Paul George and Quentin Grimes each scored 14 points. As a team, the 76ers shot 47 percent from the field and 12 of 32 from the 3-point line as they got off to a solid start and worked their way to an 11-point lead in the fourth quarter. But they squandered that lead and got outscored by 13-4 in the final 2:59 to fall just short in the end.

76ers vs Pacers Prediction

The Pacers have ruled out Bennedict Mathurin and Tyrese Haliburton, while the 76ers are keeping an eye on Joel Embiid and Paul George, who are both questionable. The Pacers were starting to get on a roll, but they got beaten so badly by the Pistons in their last outing that I’m surprised the line isn’t higher. The 76ers almost beat the Cavaliers in their last outing, and they would’ve been even heavier favorites if not for the injury cloud hanging over George and Embiid once again. The 76ers should still be good enough to get job done here, but I think we’re about to see a response from the Pacers, so I will take the points in what could be a close one.
