Matchup preview

The 76ers visit the Pacers on Wednesday, October 28 at 7:10 PM ET.

Last season (2025-26), the 76ers scored 115.9 points per game (13th of 30) and allowed 116.1 (19th). The Pacers scored 112.4 points per game (27th of 30) and allowed 120.4 (25th).

Offensive rating, the points scored per 100 possessions: 76ers 112.8 (17th), Pacers 109.0 (27th). Defensive rating, the points allowed per 100 possessions: 76ers 113.0 (16th), Pacers 116.7 (25th). Net rating, the offensive minus defensive rating: 76ers −0.2 (18th), Pacers −7.7 (26th). These are last season's full-season numbers because the new season's sample is still small; rosters change over the offseason.

The 76ers are 5.5-point road favorites, with the Pacers getting the points at home. The spread opened at 76ers -1.5. The total is 236.5, down from 238.5 at the open. After removing the vig, the moneyline (76ers -195, Pacers +160) prices the 76ers at 63% and the Pacers at 37%.

Built from public team and player data; ranks are league-wide and update daily until kickoff.
