76ers vs. Pacers Prediction: Odds, expert picks, projected starting lineups, betting trends and stats

The Philadelphia 76ers fell 0-2 on Friday after losing to the Toronto Raptors 115-107, while the Indiana Pacers lost their road contest to the Knicks 123-98.

Both teams are coming off losses, but this is the Pacers’ first home game, while the 76ers are playing their second road game in a row. The 76ers are still without Joel Embiid and Paul George, which has led to the team’s field goal percentage of 40.2% (27th).

The Pacers’ offense has struggled with a field goal percentage of 50% (4th) and just 106.5 points per game (26th). Indiana ranks last in the NBA after three to two games (19.7%), and Philly is 26th (30%). So this could be an ugly afternoon contest.

We’ve got all the information and analysis you need to know ahead of the game, including the latest on how to secure your first pick, projected lineups, recent team performances, player stats and of course our predictions, tips and best bets for the game our modeling tools and our team of experts.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bet

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes Tyrese Maxey eating a 30 burger in Indiana:

“I lost by over 29.5 points to Tyrese Maxey on Friday at the Raptors and it was one of the losses that will be in the back of my mind all season.

Maxey came out shining! He scored 19 points in the first half, then went 1 of 7 for five points in the second half and finished with 24. Surprising, but Indiana is a fast tempo team that also wants to throw three balls.

That pace could serve Maxey well after he scored 24 and 25 points in 39 and 41 minutes. He is a combined 16-of-54 from the field (29.6%) and 4-of-21 from three (19%). These percentages are bad, but the volume is enough for a big game every night until Embiid and George get back.”

Here are the best bets our model predicts for the Nuggets and Clippers:

· Money line: NBC Sports has great confidence in the value of Philadelphia ML (+280)

· Spread: NBC Sports finds the strength to take the points with Philadelphia

· In total: NBC Sports is confident of achieving a total score of OVER 228.5 points
