The Philadelphia 76ers find themselves in desperate need of a momentum shift as they welcome the surging Indiana Pacers to the Wells Fargo Center, with both teams heading in opposite directions following their recent performances.
While the Pacers are riding high after Tyrese Haliburton's heroic four-point play secured a dramatic win over Milwaukee, the severely depleted Sixers - missing Joel Embiid, Paul George, and Tyrese Maxey - have dropped five of their last six games and are struggling to find their offensive rhythm.
The Pacers' high-octane offense (116.4 points per game) faces off against a 76ers squad that's managing just 109.5 points per contest as Indiana looks to extend their recent dominance in this matchup, having won the previous two meetings between these Eastern Conference rivals.

Philadelphia 76ers vs. Indiana Pacers preview
The struggling 76ers host a surging Pacers squad at Wells Fargo Center in what's shaping up to be a tale of two very different seasons.
Philly's been hit hard by injuries, with Joel Embiid and Paul George sidelined, leaving them scrambling for offensive firepower as they've dropped five of their last six games.
The Pacers, fresh off a dramatic win over Milwaukee thanks to Tyrese Haliburton's clutch four-point play, bring their high-octane offense (116.4 points per game) and league-leading assist numbers to town.
Pascal Siakam's been on fire lately for Indiana, coming off a monster 25-point, 12-rebound performance against the Bucks, while Philly's been leaning heavily on unexpected heroes like Quentin Grimes, who dropped 29 in their recent loss to Toronto.
The head-to-head history favors the Sixers overall, but Indiana's taken the last two meetings, including a convincing 115-102 win in January.
Keep an eye on the matchup between Indiana's sharpshooting (48.9% from the field) and Philly's struggling defense, which has been giving up easy buckets left and right.
With the Pacers fighting to maintain their playoff position and the Sixers just trying to keep their heads above water, this one could get ugly fast.
The return of Kyle Lowry might give Philly a boost, but Indiana's depth and firepower look too much for this depleted Sixers squad to handle.
