76ers at Pacers picks and predictions
Prediction
76ers 125, Pacers 115
Moneyline
AVOID.
The 76ers (-250) should be able to secure the win on Monday, but taking them outright at the current odds isn’t advised with the minimal return you’ll receive if they do win.
Against the spread
76ERS -6.5 (-110) is the pick here despite some people likely seeing this as a trap game for Philadelphia. The 76ers are coming off an impressive come-from-behind win over the Bucks Saturday and they realize they can close the gap for the No. 1 seed with a win on Monday.
Philadelphia is 6-2 ATS in its last 8 road games against a team with a winning home record.
Over/Under
OVER 233.5 (-108) is the lean in a massive pace-up game for the 76ers. The Pacers won’t have an answer for C Joel Embiid and G James Harden has been more consistent in the scoring department recently.
Indiana has hit the Over in 4 of its last 5 games against a team with a winning record and the Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings between these teams.
