The analysis Model

On paper, the 76ers dominate this matchup. The model projects 76ers 118 – 109 Pacers, a margin of about 8.7 points in favor of the 76ers and a total around 227 points. Expect a game at a standard NBA pace. The 76ers will be without Tacko Fall or Dominick Barlow (and 1 other). The Pacers will be without T.J. McConnell or Ben Sheppard (and 2 others).

  • The overall strength gap (+0.7 vs -4.7 pts/game) is the main factor.
  • The Pacers need to win the pace battle to stay in the game.
  • The 76ers' defense allows clearly fewer points (113.5 pts/game).
