As can be seen, the Philadelphia 76ers are the hottest team in the NBA as they enter the front side of a back-to-back on Friday sporting a six-game win streak to face the Hornets (as of posting they are yet to play) while the Pacers shocked the Bucks winning 139-123 on Thursday.
The 76ers are 40-28 overall against the spread this season. Also, they are 17-15 ATS as the away team. Additionally, the Pacers are 38-31-1 against the spread this season. Also, they are 21-13-1 ATS as the home team
Saturday, March 18th, the Philadelphia 76ers and Indiana Pacers play for the fourth and final time this season. Philly will be looking for the season sweep having won on October 24th (120-106), January 4th (129-126 in overtime), and March 6th (147-143).
Last season, the teams played three times with the 76ers taking two of the three contests. The 76ers hold the all-time record having bested the Pacers in 107 of their 191 matches
*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, Friday, March 17th. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Saturday, March 18th.
Every team with designs on winning the title is attempting to build momentum down the stretch aiming to be just short of reaching their peak as the playoffs begin.
Arguably, the 76ers might have hit that mark a tad early, but there’s no denying they are moving in the right direction and the recent winning could result in Joel Embiid finally winning the coveted MVP award he so greatly desires.
So far this season, the 76ers score an average of 115.15 points per game ranking 14th. Philly shoots 48.5% from the field and 39% from the perimeter, ranking eighth and first respectively.
What’s more, defense is where the 76ers make their mark allowing the third-fewest opponent points per game with 110.7. They hold opponents to 47.2% from the field ranking 15th and 35% from deep or the sixth-best perimeter defense.
To summarize the injury report…
Having already secured their playoff ticket perhaps the Bucks weren’t as invested in winning the match versus the Pacers. However, it’s important to note Tyrese Haliburton wasn’t playing yet the Pacers still dropped 138 points on the Bucks with Giannis Antetokounmpo playing.
The Pacers average 115.9 points per game ranking 10th while shooting 46.5% from the field and 36.5% from deep ranking 245th and 12th.
Defensively, Indy allows 118 points per game ranking 26th while opponents shoot 47.9% from the field and 37.2% from the perimeter ranking 22nd and 26th respectively.

Much will depend on what happens Friday versus the Hornets, but if the 76ers win I like them to keep the streak going – – conversely if they lose versus Indy or have to battle late in the match then I like the Pacers to potentially shock Philly by stealing the match.
Either way, I’ll take the points.
