The Philadelphia 76ers will continue their five-game road trip on Monday when they take on the Indiana Pacers. It will be the fourth game of the trip and it is also the first night of another back-to-back.
They are coming off an impressive win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday, but they received some tough injury news with Tobias Harris leaving at halftime and PJ Tucker leaving in the third quarter. The Sixers were able to recover without those two important pieces and they will have to do so again on Monday.
Both Harris, who is dealing with left calf soreness, and Tucker, back spasms, will miss Monday’s tilt with the Pacers.

The Sixers will finish the road trip on Tuesday when they take on the Minnesota Timberwolves. The expectation is that Harris and Tucker will return for that matchup barring any issues.

As far as Monday’s matchup is concerned, the Pacers are a scrappy, but rebuilding bunch. Philadelphia should be able to get a despite missing both Harris and Tucker for this contest.
Tipoff from Gainbridge Fieldhouse is set for 7 p.m. EST.
