I’m taking the Over on the Gordon points prop here, with the potential for an expanded role against an Indiana defense that ranks in the league's bottom half in opponent field goal percentage. Gordon has gone past this 9.5 O/U line in four of his last five games, including 14 points against the New York Knicks on Wednesday, and he’s knocked down nine of his past 16 attempts from downtown. With Maxey drawing a crowd, I expect some good perimeter looks for the 76ers’ shooters tonight – and Gordon is rarely shy about hoisting 3-pointers.
The visitors could use some of that juice, as the 76ers enter this one losers of four straight, and just two wins in their last nine. The effort was there last game against New York, but they failed to close things out and lost 125-119 in overtime.It was the sixth straight game missed by 2023 MVP Joel Embiid, who continues to have issues with his left knee. While he's the biggest missing piece, it's tough for Nick Nurse to cobble together a game plan with a revolving door of injuries. . It has amounted to a 108.7 scoring average during this skid, while allowing 114.2 against. Teams are getting clean looks vs Philly, shooting 50.3% from the field and 39.7% from 3-point range. The Pacers have taken three of four against the 76ers, and Philly has struggled against winning teams, sporting a 4-22 record against teams with winning records.
