Indiana at Philadelphia

The Indiana Pacers are much like the Los Angeles Clippers, as both teams are amongst the most improved teams in the league. The Clippers had a bad stretch of going 7-12 over a 19-game period, much the same as the pacers who gritted out a tough stretch that saw them go 9-12. The Pacers are 30-10 in their 40 games played outside of the bad stretch, and are arguably getting better late in the season, as they have now won 9 of 10 and five straight. Philadelphia looked to be the beast in the Atlantic, but a soft early schedule made this team look a lot better than they really are. The Sixers are outstanding on the defensive end, but are simply an average or below average team offensively. The Pacers can match them on defense and simply have shown more consistency on the offensive end, and that will be the difference down the stretch. The Sixers are just 11-20 in their last 31 games, but getting treated like a team that they simply are not, and their 18-37 ATS mark at home vs. a winning team shows the real story. These clubs have played UNDER to an 11-3 mark over their last 14 including 6-1 in Philly, while the Sixers are 10-1 to the UNDER after allowing 100+ in their previous game. Play this one on Indiana and the UNDER.
