What Happened
On Tuesday, the Philadelphia 76ers are set to face the Indiana Pacers in an Eastern Conference matchup at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. The 76ers (31-26) recently ended a four-game losing streak with a decisive 135-108 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves. In contrast, the Pacers (15-43) are struggling, having lost their last three games, including a narrow 134-130 defeat against the Dallas Mavericks.
Why It Matters
