The NBA regular season is in its final stretch and this Saturday, March 18, we will have a 76ers vs Pacers clash, where the visiting team is a big favorite to add another victory to its impressive record.
The 76ers currently hold the third position in the Eastern Conference, and are putting in a great effort to compete with the Celtics for second place, as it could be very important for them to have home court advantage if they end up facing Boston in the playoffs. The Pacers are ranked 11th in the same conference and are coming off a spectacular and unexpected win against the Bucks, so they will be looking to pull another surprise win in this game.
Without further ado, JefeBet brings you the odds, predictions, and all the information about the NBA. Here is everything you need to know about this Philadelphia 76ers vs Indiana Pacers.

Betting on the Philadelphia 76ers
- Regular Season Record: 46-22
The 76ers have six wins in a row (not including Friday’s game against the Hornets) and are looking confident to battle the Bucks and the Celtics in the Eastern Conference playoffs in what promises to be an exciting race between these three teams to represent their region in the NBA Finals.
Joel Embiid has moved into the betting favorite to win the MVP over Nuggets center Nikola Jokic. The 76ers’ star Cameroonian player has scored over 30 points in his seven appearances in March, which shows how relentless he is in the world’s best basketball.
Betting on the Indiana Pacers
- Regular Season Record: 32-38
The Pacers were 11.5-point underdogs in their visit to the Bucks on Thursday night, and they shocked the entire NBA by taking the win without their best player, Tyrese Haliburton, who is out due to an ankle discomfort. Still, Andrew Nembhard led his team through the game with 24 points scored.
Indiana is only half a game away from a Play-In berth, and that home win over the Bucks could be the one that gives the Rick Carlisle’s team the confidence to keep going, especially if they get Haliburton back soon.
JefeBet Prediction
The 76ers have defeated the Pacers in all three previous meetings in the 2022-23 season and are going for the sweep this Saturday.
With Joel Embiid playing at an MVP level, and Tyrese Haliburton still not confirmed, at JefeBet we are leaning towards a win without major inconveniences for the team led by Doc Rivers.
Prediction: Philadelphia 76ers Spread (PHI 134-120 IND)
