Philadelphia won the first meeting 100-94 on the road. Now the 76ers are home after winning six of their last eight games although they did succumb to Brooklyn 127-124 on Wednesday while playing without Jimmy Butler, who has a strained groin. Butler is questionable tonight, but Philly's biggest adjustment will be on overall defense as the Nets shot 51.3 percent from the field, including 14-of-28 from three-point range. The Sixers allow only a .341 percentage on the season from beyond the arc and a .444 shooting percentage overall. Indiana has won five in a row, mostly against weaker competition and this will be the Pacers' toughest test in a six-game span. Indiana has gone UNDER eight games in a row and Philadelphia has stayed UNDER five of its last seven. The UNDER is 24-9 in Indiana's last 33 games after an ATS win and the Pacers are 25-9 UNDER their last 34 following any win. Go with the 76ers on the moneyline and also UNDER.
