The Indiana Pacers sport one of the worst records in the Association, but the team has recently started to find its groove. They’ll look to extend their two-game win streak when they travel east to face the Philadelphia 76ers tonight.
With both defenses playing well and neither offense putting up a ton of points, my Pacers vs. 76ers predictions expect a low-scoring matchup.
Here are my best free NBA picks for this Eastern Conference matchup on Friday, December 12.
Pacers vs 76ers prediction
Pacers vs 76ers best bet: Under 226.5 (-110)
The Indiana Pacers are 9-15 to the Under this season, and the Philadelphia 76ers are 11-12. Indiana is 2-9 to the Under on the road, while Philadelphia is 6-8 to the Under at home.
Philadelphia has hit the Under in four straight games, and Indiana has hit the Under in two straight and five of its last seven.
Over the last 10 games, the Pacers rank sixth in defensive rating at 111.4, and the Sixers rank seventh at 111.5. In that span, Indiana ranks 17th in offensive rating at 114.5, and Philadelphia ranks 25th in offensive rating at 110. The Pacers are 18th in points per game at 114.5, while the Sixers are 17th at 114.8.
Indiana sports a +3.1 net rating across its last 10, and the team has been competitive thanks in large part to an improved effort on the defensive end. Indy will need to be solid on defense against a Sixers team that is expected to be close to full strength tonight. I’ll bet the Under here.
Pacers vs 76ers same-game parlay
The Pacers have won two straight and four of their last six. The wins came against the Chicago Bulls, Sacramento Kings, and Washington Wizards, but nonetheless, Indiana has built up some forward momentum.
Indy has covered in three straight on the road, while Philly is just 1-6 ATS across its last seven at home. I'll take the visiting team and the points.
Pascal Siakam is averaging a career-best 24.5 points per game this season, and he's scored 24+ in 14 of 23 appearances. He's reached that scoring milestone in six of 10 on the road, and Spicy P will need to be at his best tonight for the Pacers to keep things close at Xfinity Mobile Arena.
