Pacers vs. 76ers Odds & Betting Predictions - March 14, 2025

The Pacers face off against a clearly tanking Sixers team on Friday night and I expect them to make short work of them. Despite the blowout potential, this is an awesome matchup for Haliburton and the Pacers. Since the beginning of March, the Sixers have the fifth-worst Defensive Rating and are playing at the 12th-fastest Pace. They are also allowing the fifth-most assists per game to their opponents This is a recipe for points. Haliburton has at least 2 1Q assists in 10 straight games and 3+ in 7/10. He has absolutely cooked lately playing at least 9 1Q minutes in all 10 games. This 1Q line helps us avoid a blowout, and Haliburton should get the Pacers started off hot in this contest so they can rest up early before facing off against the Bucks tomorrow.

Indiana’s offense too much for Philly – 116.4 PPG (3rd), elite ball movement (29.2 AST/G, 2nd). Siakam in peak form – 50%+ FG in 6 of last 8. Haliburton’s playmaking (10.4 AST/G) fuels a well-spaced attack. Philly’s defense collapses late – allows 124.2 PPG in last 5. Without Embiid, George, and Maxey, Sixers lack defensive resistance. Philly’s offense in freefall – just 109.4 PPG (23rd), brutal 45.4% FG (26th). No Maxey = no primary shot creator. Recent losses brutal – 118 to Toronto, 126 to Minnesota, 132 to Atlanta. Indiana’s length disrupts passing lanes (8.7 STL/G, 6th), forcing bad shots. Pacers thrive in transition – Sixers allow 15.7 TO/G (30th), worst in NBA. Pacers have dominated this matchup – won last 4 by 10+. Last meeting? 115-102 Indy win without a great Haliburton game. This time, Sixers missing even more key pieces. Indy 20-10 at home, Philly just 12-21 at Wells Fargo. Pacers clicking, Sixers sinking fast. Blowout incoming.

Great value play here on BET365 with this line at -120 compared to -150 and up on other books. Siakam has hit this line in 63% of games this season and 20/L20 vs PHI PHI allow the 4th most assist to opposing power forwards. Siakam gets a majority of his assists from above the break 3's and around the rim. The 76ers rank 2nd worst in those areas since the start of the new year. PHI has allowed 13/L17 power forwards to hit their lines again them. Top performers include: Green (8) Randle (5) Queta (4) Buzelis (5) Watford (6) Tatum (10) Great matchup here for Siakam and one he has hit in 20 straight games.

Hali has been a different player as of late hitting this in 7 straight. He’s averaging 18.8 potentials per game during this stretch, compared to 15.3 over the entire season. The Sixers defense is atrocious, and they are allowing the 5th most APG to PG L10 and the 4th most L5. They specifically allow the 4th most assists to the rim & 2nd most to AB3. This accounts for 36% and 26% of Hali’s assists respectively.
