Philadelphia 76ers @ Indiana Pacers 

Game Time: 3:40 pm ET

DraftKings Lines

PHI +8.5 (-110), IND -8.5 (-110)
Game Total 228.5

Key Storylines

Get well soon Philly:  As we saw last season, Tyrese Maxey simply cannot do it alone. Paul George or Joel Embiid will need to be around for the Sixers to achieve a good seed in the playoffs.

Hali Buy Low: It’s a horrendous start that will be biased against Tyrese Haliburton due to the hamstring issues of last season. Even if you don’t think he can be that first-round guy (I wouldn’t go that far), if someone is willing to give up on him early for a second- or third-round player, that sounds like easy pickings to me.

Stream of the Game

Caleb Martin for general stats.
