Indiana Pacers vs Philadelphia 76ers preview

This could have been a playoff matchup if not for the 76ers' season spiraling due to injuries. At 22-43, Philadelphia has been in freefall, losing key players one after another.

With Joel Embiid, Eric Gordon and Jared McCain already out with season-ending injuries, Paul George is consulting doctors this week regarding groin and knee injuries, with a potential procedure being considered, according to ESPN.

The Sixers have won just one of their last six games and only two of their last 16. They have shown no signs of recovery as they sink further in the standings.

Meanwhile, the Indiana Pacers snapped a three-game losing streak with a dramatic 115-114 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks, thanks to a game-winning shot from Tyrese Haliburton.

With this being the first leg of a back-to-back against Milwaukee, the Pacers may opt to rest Haliburton to ensure he’s fully available for the playoffs.
