Pacers vs. 76ers Public Betting: Bettors Taking Points with Indiana

Siakam tallies 21 points in win over Bulls
Pascal Siakam logged 37 minutes in Friday’s win over the Bulls, tallying 21 points (7-of-15 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), seven rebounds, two assists, and three 3-pointers. After three games of 17 points or fewer, Siakam got back over the 20-point mark on Friday. The recent downturn in scoring is why he’s ranked just outside the top 75 in 9-cat formats over the past two weeks and is now outside the top 50 in season-long value. Siakam will be fine, and Friday’s performance was a step in the right direction.
Maxey accumulates 25 points in win
Tyrese Maxey accumulated 25 points (10-of-22 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 11 rebounds, 14 assists, one steal, and three 3-pointers in 42 minutes in Sunday’s 108-100 win over the Bulls. Not only did Maxey record a triple-double on Sunday, he also established a new career-high of 14 assists. The 76ers point guard hasn’t shot the ball as well as in seasons past thus far, but he’s still been a 3rd-round player in 8- and 9-cat formats. That production level aligns with his Yahoo ADP (26), and that’s with Paul George and Joel Embiid having inconsistent availability due to injury. Philadelphia hosts Indiana on Friday in its final game of Week 7 (Yahoo leagues).

Pacers vs. 76ers NBA Prediction:
Take the over. The over is 9-1 in the last 10 meetings between these two teams, which includes cashing in seven straight Indiana-Philadelphia matchups. Thus, despite the under hitting in three straight Philadelphia games, I’m rolling the dice that these two teams will pick up the scoring and cash the over tonight in Philadelphia.
