4 min76ers vs. Pacers Prediction, Pick Against the Spread, Latest Odds
The Philadelphia 76ers and the Indiana Pacers will clash for an Eastern Conference matchup on Sunday afternoon.
Philly comes into the contest with a record of 0-2 in the young season. The Sixers have had to begin the year without their two superstars, Joel Embiid and Paul George. George and Embiid are both expected to return next week.
Philly opened the season with a blowout loss against the Milwaukee Bucks. Game two was not much better, as Philly was dominated on the road against the Toronto Raptors. Today feels like an important game early in the season for the Sixers.

After two poor showings, I expect a strong effort from the Sixers today.
Maxey will step up and perform better than he has in the first two games.
The Pacers defense has struggled early in the year and is laying too many points today.
