NBC Sports Best Bets

Vaughn Dalzell's (@VmoneySports) top play: 76ers Team Total Over 116.5 (-105)
"In the last 10 meetings between the 76ers and Pacers, Philly has averaged 130.4 points per game and scored 117 or more points all eight times. You would have to go back to 2021 to find a performance under that (113)."
Drew Dinsick's top play (@whale_capper): Pacers +6.5
"Tough to put a fair price together for the Sixers but not a good matchup for a defense that has struggled to come up will consistent stops in the half court this season. Fair price is IND +4 by my numbers."
