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.

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.
