Matchup
After splitting a pair of contests with the Charlotte Hornets, the Pacers (11-8) are returning home to host the top team in the Eastern Conference, the Philadelphia 76ers (14-6), on Sunday afternoon.
Not much has slowed down the Sixers this season, who have won seven of their last nine contests. Center Joel Embiid anchors the club. Embiid is having an MVP-caliber season, averaging 28.3 points and 11.1 rebounds per game. Posing as a major threat in the paint, the seven-footer is keen on drawing fouls. He has taken the league s second-most free throws this season (181), only trailing Atlanta s standout guard, Trae Young.
