Philadelphia 76ers vs Indiana Pacers Basketball Preview (10/27-2024). Philadelphia is winless this season and hosts Indiana on Sunday evening, desperate to avoid yet another defeat against injury-riddled Philadelphia squads. Led by rookie guard Tobias Harris and newly acquired Kelly Oubre to replace Joel Embiid.
Oubre has shown some promise, but the 76ers need more production from other starters as well as consistency from bench players. Veteran Kyle Lowry will prove invaluable as an asset with regards to building strong relationships with coach Nick Nurse.
Indiana is 1-1 so far this season and won a tight contest against Detroit on Wednesday. While they have shown inconsistency so far this season, Indiana boasts an array of talented role players which makes up its depth squad.
The team ranks 22nd in scoring offense with an average of 108 points per game and are also grabbing 38.5 rebounds a night while dishing out 21.5 assists on an average night. Furthermore, they rank 24th for three-point shooting by making 28.3% of their attempts from beyond the arc.
Myles Turner will be an important piece in the Pacers offense against an athletic 76ers defense, while Tyrese Haliburton should aim to rebound after suffering through an awful shooting night against the Knicks and could become a key threat in this game. Additionally, Rick Carlisle, Caleb Martin, Guerschon Yabusele, Eric Gordon and Bennedict Mathurin will make valuable contributions for Indiana.
