The Pacers have plenty of offensive punch, with five players averaging in double-digits, led by Pascal Siakam (19.7 ppg) and point guard Tyrese Haliburton (178.5 ppg, 8.4 apg). Indiana went to the Eastern Conference finals last season and is ranked 11th in scoring, sixth in field goal shooting, and 11th from the free-throw line. Indiana has had four days off to rest after a loss at home to Charlotte. In their last road game, the Pacers won at Chicago, 132-123. Philadelphia finally has Joel Embiid back, playing almost 33 minutes in the previous game while wearing a brace on his surgically repaired left knee. In the last three meetings between these teams, Indiana won twice (134-122 and 132-126) despite Embiid scoring 39 and 31 points and a 76ers win in OT (118-114) earlier this season. Play Indiana.
