The Philadelphia 76ers and Indiana Pacers Meet in a Battle of Early-Season Struggles
Sixers Looking to Bounce Back After Disappointing Start
The Philadelphia 76ers, one of the favorites to come out of the Eastern Conference this season, have struggled out of the gate with a 1-4 record. Their only win came against the lowly Indiana Pacers, who are also off to a disappointing 2-4 start. The Sixers will be looking to get back on track when they host the Pacers on Monday night.
Key Players to Watch:
* Joel Embiid
* James Harden
* Tyrese Maxey
Pacers Hoping to Continue Momentum After First Win
The Indiana Pacers snapped a three-game losing streak with a win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday night. They will be looking to build on that momentum when they travel to Philadelphia to take on the Sixers. The Pacers are led by Tyrese Haliburton, who is averaging 20.3 points and 10.3 assists per game.
Key Players to Watch:
* Tyrese Haliburton
* Buddy Hield
* Jalen Smith
Matchup to Watch: Embiid vs. Turner
One of the key matchups to watch in this game will be between Joel Embiid and Myles Turner. Embiid is one of the best big men in the league, while Turner is a rising star. Both players are capable of putting up big numbers, so this matchup could be a lot of fun to watch.
Prediction
The Sixers are the clear favorites in this game, but the Pacers have shown that they can be a dangerous team when they are playing well. I expect the Sixers to win this game, but the Pacers will keep it close.
