Indiana Pacers vs Philadelphia 76ers: Current situation
This recent run of 7 wins in 8 games has completely changed the perspective of the Indiana Pacers around the league. They now resemble the team we all fell in love with last year and the standings reflect that. They’ve jumped up to 6th place in the Eastern Conference with a 23-19 record, there is a good chance they can improve even further with the Bucks and Magic just a half game ahead.
Despite all the injury problems this season, Philadelphia is still not yet out of the playoff picture in the Eastern Conference. At 15-24 the situation is far from ideal, but the 10th seeded Bulls who occupy the final play-in tournament spot are just 2 games ahead. Once again, it will all come down to the health of Joel Embiid and the rest of the big 3. Paul George’s play has been a worry too, he is showing his age and with 3 years left on his contract the Philadelphia 76ers might consider moving him.
Indiana Pacers Stats & Form
It was a great bounce back victory for Indiana in their latest game as they beat the Detroit Pistons 111-100 on Thursday. Tyrese Haliburton returned after missing the game against Cleveland with 17 points and 8 assists. His presence sparked Indy to record 28 assists as a team, while Myles Turner went off with 8 threes and 28 points to lead the way. At 7-1 ATS/SU the Pacers are now one of the most in-form teams in the Conference.
Philadelphia 76ers Stats & Form
Philadelphia has been a team to avoid this season, at least from a bettors perspective. The 76ers have failed to cover the spread in 6 straight games, on the season they are just 14-25 ATS. Right now, Philly has lost 4 games in a row and 5 of their last 6. Even a 33-point night by Tyrese Maxey and 26 from Paul George wasn’t enough against the Knicks as they fell in OT earlier this week. Joel Embiid was not available for the 2nd straight game, there is a chance he comes back for the game against Indiana.
Indiana Pacers vs Philadelphia 76ers: Head-to-Head
Philadelphia has enjoyed a lot of success in games against the Pacers, having won 7 of the last 10. However, the two teams did split the two meetings so far this season, with the road team winning on both occasions. Games played at the Gainbridge FieldHouse have been marked by high scoring, with 5 straight games cashing on the over.
Indiana Pacers – Philadelphia 76ers Odds

Betting tip and prediction: Indiana Pacers vs Philadelphia 76ers (18.01.2025)
On paper the 76ers have a far better team here, but games in the NBA are not won on paper sadly. Injuries have played a major part in the Sixers season so far, they could once again be without several key players here as Caleb Martin, Kyle Lowry, Andre Drummond and Joel Embiid all find themselves on the injury report as game time decisions. Indiana also had an injury scare the other night with Tyrese Haliburton suffering a minor hamstring issue, but he successfully returned to the line-up with 17 points and 8 assists in the win over Detroit. Indiana is just the more in-form team right now, they’ve gone 7-1 SU/ATS in their last 8 games scoring more than 13 threes just twice during that stretch. That’s a clear indicator that the defense has improved vastly since the turn of the new year. Opponents are shooting under 29% from three-point land vs the Pacers in their last 3 games, there’s also a noticeable improvement in paint protection with Indy allowing 3 points less in the painted area compared to their season average. It’s hard to really trust the 76ers here, they’ve dropped 4 games in a row and you just never know which of their big 3 will show up on any given night. We are sticking with the red-hot Pacers in this one.
