Indiana Pacers vs. Philadelphia 76ers Picks and Prediction for Sunday, November 15, 2026

The Indiana Pacers are heading to Philadelphia on Sunday for a 1 PM tipoff at Xfinity Mobile Arena against the Philadelphia 76ers. The Pacers have had a rough start to the season so far, but they are coming off of a couple of wins that could give them some momentum coming into this game. However, Philadelphia has been playing better and already beat Indiana once this year, 114-109, back on October 28. The other good news for the 76ers is they have had an extra day of rest before this game. Be ready for all the NBA action with our free NBA picks. 

Indiana Pacers Are Trying to Get Back on Track

The Pacers' season has started out in dismal form with a 5-8 record overall. However, they are 3-3 on the road compared to their home record of only 2-5. The Pacers have won two straight, beating Washington 114-101 on Wednesday and New York 106-104 on Friday night. The Knicks game was encouraging because Indiana had to work for the win and managed to pull it out at the end of the game. However, before those victories, the Pacers did lose 125-122 on the road against Dallas and 114-102 against Denver.

The Pacers are coming in with 111 points per game scored on 46.8% shooting from the field and 33.3% shooting from three-point range. The passing for Indiana has managed to get 27.8 assists per game, and they are moving fairly well, but they do turn it over only 14.7 times per game. The defense for Indiana has allowed 113.2 points per game, and they are having some issues on the glass, as they've only managed to get 41.1 rebounds per game.

The Pacers are still playing without Tyrese Haliburton, Johnny Furphy, and Ben Sheppard. And recently, they've had some injury concerns with Aaron Nesmith, who has been having some knee soreness, which is not helping him run up and down the court. T.J. McConnell, on the other hand, is another player that they have injury issues with, as he has had a hamstring issue he's been dealing with, and that's limited his time on the court so far this season. However, he did play 17 minutes against New York on Friday night.

Philadelphia 76ers Have Been More Dependable

The 76ers are coming in playing decent on the year with a 10-3 record overall, and they have played really well at home with a 5-2 mark. Recently, the 76ers were able to take down the Toronto Raptors on Thursday by a score of 123-112, but that comes after losing to Boston two nights prior by a score of 123-101. Now, on November 8, the 76ers did pick up a decent win against the Chicago Bulls by a score of 127-101. There has been a very mixed stretch for the 76ers, and they have not really found much consistency on the season in getting wins. However, one thing that Philadelphia has managed recently is seven out of their last 10 games.

On the offensive side of the ball, the 76ers are shooting 45% from the field, which is decent but not overall impressive, and they've only managed to land 34.3% of the shots from three-point land. The 76ers have managed to convert that decent shooting to 111.2 points per game, and they are protecting the ball very well, as they manage to get only 12.8 turnovers. The defense has been the reliable part of the season for Philadelphia so far, as they've only allowed 109.4 points per game.

With the 76ers, they are having some decent runs, but they've also had some injury issues, as LeBron James has had a sore back recently. Dominick Barlow, Adem Bona, and Ariel Hukporti were also listed as out in Philadelphia's most recent game. However, the 76ers have been seeing Tyrese Maxey step up and fill the scoring option along with Embiid and Jaylen Brown, who have also helped to come out onto the court and provide reliable scoring.

Indiana Pacers vs. Philadelphia 76ers Picks and Prediction

Philadelphia 76ers Moneyline

I'm going back to Philadelphia in this game. Indiana has played better over the last two games, and that's a point to take into consideration. However, the 76ers are a more consistent team than the Indiana Pacers, and playing at home, the 76ers have been really hard to beat on the season so far.

Over/Under – Under 225.5 Points, If Available

I'm gonna look for the total to be under 225.5. Yeah, both of these teams do have a decent offense that can show up on the court, but the last couple of games for Philadelphia have only managed 220.6 points combined, and that's less than 111 points per game per night for each team. Indiana also has been a lot more inconsistent, and they are dealing with injury issues, which have impacted their overall offensive effort.
