Indiana vs Philadelphia Bets continue our fun romp as the 2023-24 NBA season rolls on. Currently, we enjoyed a few of our pro and college basketball picks except for that St. John’s clunker. Alright, BetOnline online sportsbook and a few others provided some early Tuesday night numbers. Fans love this time of year and not just for the impending turkey. Now, could Philadelphia win their ninth straight game?
Indiana vs Philadelphia Bets get a little worried on Tuesday night. Now, the problems here are several. For one, Philadelphia comes in on an eight-game winning streak. One always worries early in the season with load management. That must be monitored constantly. It becomes the reality of this post-pandemic NBA. More than likely, Philadelphia should field mostly a full roster.
Also, the Indiana Pacers are 6-4, but 1-2 away from home. Meanwhile, the 76ers have won their first six decisions in their friendly confines. Philadelphia averages a whopping 120.4 points per game and their net rating ranks second in the league at +11.2. Nick Nurse has this team rolling as the Simple Rating System holds them firm in second place overall.
First Six Home Games
Alright, there have been a few close games but the 76ers just beat the Pacers over the weekend by 11 points. There is little reason not to expect something close to that again. After all, the pace in this tilt should be almost as fast. Now, can Joel Embiid get a triple-double? We might address that one too. Tyrese Maxey lead all scorers with 50 points and made 20 field goals in all.
The bettors prime for an entertaining contest full of back-and-forth action. Many forget that Philadelphia only was ahead by a point heading into the fourth quarter. That was before Maxey and Embiid took over with one final push. After that, Indiana was down by as many as 17 then never truly recovered. Philadelphia gets the Moneyline edge.
Why not ask do the Pacers have a chance on Tuesday night on the road again versus the same 76ers? Now, remember Philadelphia was thought to be a contender for the NBA Title last season then folded in the second round again. Even on Sunday, Indiana showed for three quarters that they could go toe-to-toe with Philadelphia.
So, if the numbers are there for 36 minutes, what would it take in the Indiana vs Philadelphia Bets for the Pacers to pull off the mild upset? The belief is Buddy Hield needs to play more than 20 minutes for better or for worse. Here is why? He can keep up with Philadelphia and their tempo. Now, Hield only shot 6-for-14 from the field but got a little unlucky with several shots from three-point range. The iron was unkind.

Hield can drop some three’s. He has 32 on the season. Now, he tied for the team lead on Sunday with Myles Turner and his four triples. Hield, unlike Turner, usually does not get in foul trouble. It makes for an interesting point where the guard/small forward can play at the 2 or 3. That alone vaults err should rise Hield into the starting ranks. Yet, that has not happened yet. Maybe, it will on Tuesday.
So, that +170 to +185 range on the Moneyline could make Indiana a worthwhile choice in the Indiana vs Philadelphia Bets. Naturally, Indiana has shown they belong with the top teams in their division. The question becomes can they get that fourth quarter down well enough to pull off the victory. We have a good number below for a small wager.
Indiana vs Philadelphia bets consider the idea of them getting over on us again. Naturally, the numbers pull us to the Over here. Look at the overall pace, tempo, and scoring potential. That 240 number looks like it has a great deal of value. Some might move up to 242.5 or even 244.5 Those alternate Game Totals rank further into plus money territory. Ah, what is a bettor to do?
Books keep trying to prop the number up. Do we see offensive ratings at 125 or greater again? That is very possible. Philadelphia scored a ridiculous 140 on Sunday and has done so in four of six home contests in 2023-24. There lies no secret that the 76ers are immensely entertaining at home. Yes, the first and last quarters saw the 76ers outscore the Pacers by ten or more points. Those little team quarter overs added up big.
SUPER early look at NBA teams by starters/bench net rating this season.

Yes, some teams fail miserably at bench play. However, Philadelphia’s depth carries the day when the starters begin to tire. Their ranking is among the best squads in the league. Oh wait, they actually rank tops in the league and have the seventh best starters too. Indiana comes up to inside the top ten among the bench but their starters are about average. That is the difference between the two teams.
Numbers slide well here into the favor of Philadelphia. Laying 5.5 points is reasonable, the chances the 76ers score 125 or more is high, and the probability the teams go over 241 is high too. Roll those team overs and the game over too.
NBA online Vegas betting odds are good and those NBA prop bets might be as well.
