Analyzing Sunday’s Philadelphia 76ers at Indiana Pacers odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Philadelphia 76ers (0-2) take on the Indiana Pacers (1-1) Sunday. Tip-off from Gainbridge Fieldhouse is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NBA odds around the 76ers vs. Pacers odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting; Pacers won last season’s series 2-1

The Pacers have struggled to start the season. After eeking out a win against the Detroit Pistons, they got blown out 123-98 by the New York Knicks on Friday. They trailed by 1 point after the first quarter, but were down 31 entering the 4th. PG Tyrese Haliburton went 0-for-7 from 3 and failed to score a point. The team 3-30 from beyond the arc.

The 76ers have started the season at less than full strength. F Paul George and C Joel Embiid are out. On Friday the 76ers faced the Toronto Raptors and kept it close in the first half, however in the 4th they trailed by 18 and lost 115-97. Philly’s defense held Toronto to 26% from beyond the arc and won the turnover battle 27-16, but it wasn’t enough.

76ers at Pacers picks and predictions

Prediction

Pacers 110, 76ers 104

Moneyline

With the 76ers roster still not at full strength it is tough to pick them on the road. While the Pacers on paper are better in most categories, after their slow start it’s tough to pick them at -350. PASS and look to the spread.

Against the spread

There is not much to like about the 76ers so far. They are 26th in shooting percentage (40.2%) and 27th in opponent shooting (50%). But the Pacers are still finding their identity this season and rank 28th in 3-point shooting (19.7%). One area where Philadelphia is excelling is their turnover differential. Their defense is enjoying the 2nd-highest turnovers/game ratio (20.5) while Indiana’s defense is 24th (13).

Until the Pacers show some dominance, I like Philly to keep things close.

LEAN 76ERS +8.5 (-110).

Over/Under

While Indiana’s 3-point shooting has been terrible, their 2-point shot has been fantastic, they lead the NBA in 2-point percentage (67.6%). On top of that Philly’s 3-point defense will push Indiana into the paint. The 76ers allow the 5th-fewest 3s.

BET UNDER 228.5 (-110).

The 76ers edged out the Milwaukee Bucks 133-130 Saturday to cover as 5-point road underdogs. Philadelphia is currently 4.5 games behind the Bucks for the No. 1 seed and 3 games back of the Boston Celtics for the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference.

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.

Philadelphia 76ers at Indiana Pacers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Philadelphia 76ers at Indiana Pacers odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Philadelphia 76ers (48-30) have a great opportunity to extend their current winning streak Tuesday when they visit the Indiana Pacers (25-54). Tip-off from Gainbridge Fieldhouse will be at 7 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the 76ers vs. Pacers odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

The 76ers have won their last two games after losing three straight, to the Phoenix Suns, Milwaukee Bucks and Detroit Pistons, the latter of which was a stunner as 10-point favorites. Philadelphia is 6-4 in its last 10 games and is the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference (tied with Bucks at 48-30 but Milwaukee owns the tiebreaker). The Sixers have already clinched a playoff berth, but would like to maintain their 3-game lead on the Bulls for the fourth seed.

The Pacers have already been eliminated from playoff contention, sitting 13th in the East. They’ve lost 7 games in a row and are 2-8 in their last 10, only covering the spread three times in that stretch. Injuries have plagued the Pacers this season and they’ll be very shorthanded Tuesday against the Sixers.

76ers at Pacers odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 120, Pacers 110

Money line

This is not a game where you bet on the money line. The 76ers are -750, which means you’d have to bet $750 just to win $100. It’s not worth the risk, so PASS.

PLAY: Free, daily sports pick’em contests. Play now!

Against the spread

According to Covers, the 76ers are just 4-8 when favored by at least 10 points. On the flip side, the Pacers are 7-4 when getting at least 10 points as underdogs.

The 76ers have covered the spread in just 4 of their last 10 games and are 1-4 ATS in their last five games. I’m taking the PACERS +11.5 (-102) to cover the spread at home.

Over/Under

In the Sixers’ last 4 road games, the total has gone Under 3 times. It’s gone Under in 3 of their last 5 games overall, though the total has gone Over in each of the Pacers’ last 4 games.

I think the Pacers will be able to keep this one somewhat competitive, but the 76ers could take their foot off the gas late, leading to a game that goes UNDER 233.5 (-115) the total.

Philadelphia 76ers at Indiana Pacers odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Philadelphia 76ers at Indiana Pacers odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Philadelphia 76ers (8-5) visit the Indiana Pacers (5-8) Saturday for a 7 p.m. ET tip-off at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Below, we look at the 76ers vs. Pacers odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions, and bets.

Philly lost three straight home games entering Saturday to the Toronto Raptors, Milwaukee Bucks and New York Knicks, all without All-NBA big Joel Embiid. The Sixers are 7-6 ATS and 5-7-1 O/U with the fourth-best net rating (plus-5.1) regardless.

Indiana split its four-game road swing 2-2 overall but covered three of those games including an upset victory at the Utah Jazz as 10.5-point underdogs. The Pacers are 7-6 ATS and 4-9 O/U with the 17th-ranked net rating (plus-0.3).

The Sixers were 2-1 overall and ATS in their regular-season series with the Pacers last year. However, Embiid only played in one of those games, and he dominated, while Simmons played in all three.

76ers at Pacers odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Pacers 109, 76ers 102

Money line

PASS with a “lean” to the Pacers (-165) because it’s on the fringe of my price range for an NBA regular-season money line favorite.

Indiana’s implied win probability based on the money line is 63% and I think the Pacers win this game two-thirds (67%) of the time. But, I’ll opt to lay the points with Indiana instead.

Against the spread

The absence of Embiid has cratered Philly’s defense and rebounding. Over the past three games, the Sixers rank 22nd in defensive rating and dead-last in rebounding rate.

Also, Philly’s defense is allowing the most second-chance points per game and most fastbreak points per game since Embiid went on the COVID list.

So the Sixers are giving up easy baskets because they are missing their defensive centerpiece and aren’t grabbing boards.

On the other hand, Indiana has the fifth-best effective field goal shooting, scores the sixth-most second-chance points per game and has the seventh-highest offensive rebounding rate.

Finally, the Pacers have played much better at home this season and have rebounded well from a terrible October. Indiana is 3-2 ATS at home with a plus-4.7 spread differential and has the seventh-best net rating in November.

BET the PACERS -3.5 (-112) for 1 unit.

Over/Under

“LEAN” to the UNDER 214.5 (-115) for a small wager if anything at all because I much prefer Indiana’s spread as my favorite play in this game.

That said, both teams play at a bottom-10 pace and Indiana’s defense has improved over the past couple of weeks. Also, Indiana’s massive rebounding edge slows this game down even further.

According to CleaningTheGlass.com, the Pacers have the lowest frequency of transition offense and the second-lowest frequency of transition off of live rebounds. The Pacers are looking to dominate the boards and grind the Sixers down.

However, my hesitancy with the UNDER 214.5 (-115) is the vast majority of the market is on the Under (according to Pregame.com) and we are getting the worst of the number. The 76ers-Pacers total opened at 217.5 and all the action on the Under has steamed the total down to a less playable number.

76ers at Pacers: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Pacers 114, 76ers 108

Money line (ML)

According to CleaningTheGlass, Philadelphia (10th) and Indiana (11th) are neck-and-neck in efficiency differential, which eliminates garbage time and meaningless possessions.

76ers All-Star C Joel Embiid‘s availability is major in handicapping this game and every bettor should wait until the final injury report is released before putting action on this game.

Over Philadelphia’s recent six-game stretch, Embiid has played in five of those games and has been abusing foes. He averaged 35.6 points on .560/.429/.833% shooting with 10.4 rebounds per game in those contests.

Indiana has an edge over Philly in a couple of areas. First, the 76ers shoot the fifth-most mid-range jumpers and Indiana is second in opponent’s mid-range shooting percentage. Second, Indiana scores the second-most points off of turnovers per game while Philly gives up the third-most points off of turnovers and the 76ers are 27th in offensive turnover percentage.

Knowing Embiid’s status and effectiveness is questionable, I lean PACERS (+110) for a one-fifth-unit.

Against the spread (ATS)

This is a good spot for Indiana as the Pacers are 4-2 ATS as underdogs whereas the 76ers are 3-4 ATS as road favorites. Furthermore, we get to fade the market, which nearly 70% of is backing Philadelphia according to Pregame.com.

Also, there’s value in taking a bucket’s worth of insurance against teams so evenly matched. Last night, I ground out a win in the Lakers-Celtics game because Los Angeles didn’t cover as 2.5-point favorites.

I’m TAKING PACERS +2.5 (-115) for 1 unit as the better play on the sides.

Over/Under (O/U)

PASS. I agree with BetMGM‘s projection and don’t see any value in betting either side of the total.
