Philadelphia 76ers will square off with the Indiana Pacers in the
National Basketball Association (NBA) regular season match on 14 December.
Head-to-Head
This will be the 198th meeting between the two teams in the regular season since their first game in the 1976/77 term - the Pacers' debut NBA campaign.
The 76ers have dominated this rivalry having recorded 111 wins compared to the Pacers' 86 victories from 197 matches.
Most recent meeting
The 76ers defeated the Pacers 118-114 in a game played at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis on 27 October.
Therefore, the 76ers improved to 1-2 on the season, while the Pacers fell to 1-2.
Key Players
The 76ers will look to Joel Embiid who is one of the most influential centers in the NBA and he is known to be the first center since Moses Malone (1982) to average over 30 points per game.
The Pacers, on the other hand, will pin their hopes of defeating the 76ers on Pascal Siakam who scored 29 points and hit a game-winner in a 135-132 overtime victory against the Celtics in a playoff rematch on 30 October.
Quotes
"It's, obviously, been really tough," 76ers coach Nick Nurse said of his group at this stage of the 2024 NBA season.
"I think that you go into a season and you got your thoughts on things and our three main guys have played together six minutes through 20 games.
"Not very good. One of our new guys have played half the games. Joel’s played four, five, whatever it’s been."
