Pacers at 76ers picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 128, Pacers 115

Moneyline

PASS.

The 76ers should be able to pick up the win here, but a -275 favorite is never worth the risk of betting on. Bet on the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

LEAN 76ERS -6.5 (-110).

The 76ers should have no trouble scoring on this Pacers defense that allows 121.6 points per game. Philadelphia also has a defense that allows only 107.4 points per game, and while I expect the Pacers to surpass that mark, the 76ers' defensive advantage will carry them to cover here.

Over/Under

BET OVER 238.5 (-110).

The Over is 8-2 in the last 10 Pacers-Sixers meetings and has hit in 8 of Indiana's 9 games this season. Indiana's offense averages 126 points per game while Philadelphia's averages 118.6, both top 5 in the NBA. Philadelphia does have a very good defense, but this is a game that will be dominated by offense and will hit the Over number of 238.5.
