Teams Preview

Philadelphia 76ers

The Philadelphia 76ers have been playing miserably in the 2024-25 NBA season. The 76ers currently record 2-8 in their last 10 games, with their latest defeat coming in the hands of the Atlanta Hawks. Displaying a 22-43 record, the 76ers are three and a half games behind the Chicago Bulls at 12th, competing for the play-in spot. They are placed 4th in the Atlantic Division behind the rebuilding Raptors side. Apart from December, where the team recorded 9 wins and 3 losses for the month, they haven't been able to keep up such consistency. 

On offense, the 76ers are ranked 26th in the league and record 109.5 points per game. Their Net rating is another huge disappointment as they have a -5 rating. Their defensive acumen on the other hand has been commendable as they are conceding only 114.4 points per game which ranks them 16th in the league. Regarding rebounding the basketball, the 76ers have the worst record in the league as they acquire 39.4 boards per game, ranking them 30th in this category. 

The Philadelphia 76ers do not do well assisting the ball as they average a mere 23.2 assists a game, which ranks them 28th overall. Tyrese Maxey, who failed to make it as an all-star this season, is averaging 26.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 6.1 assists, and 1.8 steals per game. 

Paul George has been averaging 16.2 points but his fitness is a major issue at this point, with the player managing to play just 41 of the total 62 games and he is sideline for the game against the Pacers alongside Maxey. Quentin Grimes has been playing freakishly well and the player averages 17.4 points per game. He has 3 games above 25 points in his last 4 games.

Indiana Pacers

The Indiana Pacers struggled before the all-star weekend, losing 2 and winning 1 game, that too in overtime against the last-seeded Washington Wizards. After recording their best performance in January, going on a 10-2 run, February has been decent for the Indianapolis team, where they recorded 7-5. They record 3-3 for March while writing. 

Although being quite inconsistent lately, they currently sit in 4th place in the Eastern Conference with a 36-28 record, and have the same record as the Milwaukee Bucks. Milwaukee Bucks sit at the 4th seed as they have the better point differential between the two teams. In their Central Division, the Indiana Pacers are ranked 2nd behind the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Offensively, the Pacers are averaging 116.4 points per game, which is above average placing them 10th in this regard overall. However, their defensive performance has struggled, ranking low in defensive ratings with an average of 115.4 points allowed per game (20th overall). 

Rebounding the ball has been a real problem for the Pacers team, as the team currently rebounds 41 rebounds a game and rank in the bottom five this season (29th). Indiana is known for its fast-paced, high-tempo style of basketball, particularly during fast breaks following defensive stops. 

Myles Turner has been valuable with his ability to score in the paint and shoot from long range and averages 15.5 points and 1.9 blocks per game. Benedict Mathurin, the shooting guard for the Pacers has been instrumental in the team’s offensive success and bears significant responsibility for keeping the campaign on track. He averages 16.2 points per game.
