This evening, the Indiana Pacers test their four-game winning streak against the Philadelphia 76ers, who have traditionally had the Pacers’ number pretty regularly. The Pacers are on a hot streak, but the 76ers probably have the higher-end talent, so it will be interesting to see how it shakes out.

Joel Embiid has traditionally done very well against the Pacers, as Myles Turner has traditionally struggled to guard the perennial MVP candidate. However, given the Pacers are playing their best basketball of the season, we expect this to be a much closer affair than many will give it credit.

Indiana Pacers: 12th (ORtg), 22nd (DRtg), 6th (Pace), 17th (NRtg)
Philadelphia 76ers: 15th (ORtg), 3rd (DRtg), 25th (Pace), 6th (NRtg)

Indiana Pacers vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction
We expect this to be close, and given the Pacers red-hot play as of late, them to scrape out a win on the road. While Turner has traditionally struggled against Embiid, we expect Haliburton to put on a show to further strengthen his elite point guard status.
