The Philadelphia 76ers (0-3) will host the Indiana Pacers (1-2) on Monday in an Eastern Conference matchup between teams off to a slow start. Last season the 76ers won two of the three head-to-head match-ups but the Pacers covered the spread in every game.
The Indiana Pacers over/under preseason win total at BetMGM was set at just 24.5 which means the club is expected to be in the Victor Wembanyama sweepstakes after the season ends.
The Pacers will be playing their first-round game of the season on Monday. After opening the season with losses to the Wizards and Spurs, Indiana beat the Pistons 124-115 as a 1.5-point favorite. Rookie Bennedict Mauthrin, who was drafted sixth overall in the 2022 draft scored a team best 27points in the win and is second on the team averaging 24 ppg. Tyrese Haliburton leads Indiana with 25.7 ppg and is tied for first in the NBA with 9.7 assists per game.
