Preview

Indiana Pacers will meet Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday in Indiana, this will be the third game between them as the Pacers won the opening game of their season which was vs the 76ers 103-94 and then beat the 76ers again in Indiana 118-113. they will play again on Saturday.

Philadelphia 76ers are getting back in form bit by bit after winning last game vs the Cavs 112-108 and a 144-114 win over the Hornets before that. The sixers are currently the 4th seed and set to meet Chicago bulls in the first playoff round as things stand in this last week but they are tied with Milwaukee Bucks and they will be playing to get that 3rd seed before season ends.

Indiana Pacers are the 13th seed and they have given up on the season long time ago and they have been tanking to get a better draft pick, they are on 7 game losing streak now and the streak should continue after this game as the Sixers will take it seriously to get another dub and get the momentum to the Playoffs also with Embiid playing for that MVP award.

Trends

76ers are 1-4 ATS last 5 games.

76ers are 2-6 ATS last 8 games vs the Pacers

76ers are 1-4 ATS last 5 road games.

Pacers games have gone Over in 4 of last 5 games 

Pacers are 0-7 straight up 7 games.

Head to Head

Last 10 games between them are split with 5 win to each team but the Pacers are 6-4 ATS in those games so they have been doing well vs this Sixers team. The O/U is 5-5 last 10 games but it is 4-1 to the over in last 5 games, Sixers averaged 111.4 points and Pacers averaged 108.9 points a game in this span. 

Prediction

I like the Over in this game as i have been taking the Pacers' games Over lately and it have been cashing big time they are 4-1 to the Over last 5 games and i like this to go Over as well, Sixers can put 130+ easily vs this Pacers defence with Embiid playing for this MVP i think he can get 35+ so this point prop should be good too. Pacers offense is much better than their defence and they can put big numbers too so give me the Over here.

Pick: Total Over 231 (-110)
