Prediction published on 12/12/2025, 04:11  by Geoffrey Ejiga | Modified on 12/12/2025 at 06:19 in NBA Predictions

The Philadelphia 76ers and Indiana Pacers will meet for the first time this season, and our analysis points towards a relatively low-scoring game despite the traveling teams' defensive woes. See why in our match prediction below.

Neither the 76ers nor the Pacers are exactly high-output, and that's evidenced by their notably low FG% made this season. The Pacers are at the very bottom of that list with 43.4%, while the 76ers are 23rd of 28 with 45.6%. Combined with having the lowest FG%, the Pacers also record the third-lowest PPG, making only 111.2.

The 76ers are slightly better in that regard, making 116.9 points per game. However, even if both teams manage to reach or slightly cross their average, they still won't make up 237 points combined. Additionally, the Pacers have the second-lowest 3PT%, which makes for a blunt attack, all things considered.

On paper, it looks like the 76ers will win this game, but the Pacers' overall output will see the scoreboard closing with considerably low points, just as they've done all season. For both the Pacers and 76ers, five of their last seven games have gone under 237 points, and the only ones that went over were against four of the top 11 teams in PPG.
