Preview: 76ers Look to Regroup Against Struggling Pacers INDIANAPOLIS (Interstat) — The Philadelphia 76ers, seeking to stabilize after a recent skid, visit the Indiana Pacers at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Tuesday night in a matchup of teams at opposite ends of the Eastern Conference standings. Philadelphia (30-26) arrives having lost four of its last five games, including a 126-111 defeat at New Orleans on Saturday. Despite the team’s struggles, guard Tyrese Maxey has been a consistent bright spot. He is averaging 27.5 points and 6.1 assists over his last 10 games, including a 40-point performance in a win over Sacramento on Jan. 29. The Pacers (15-42) own one of the league’s worst records and have dropped seven of their last 10. They are coming off a 131-118 loss at Washington on Friday. Second-year forward Jarace Walker has emerged as a focal point, posting four double-doubles in his last 10 contests. He is averaging 15.7 points and 9.3 rebounds per game in that stretch. This will be the third meeting this season between the teams. Philadelphia won both prior matchups, 115-105 on Dec. 12 and 113-104 on Jan. 19. For the 76ers, maximizing this matchup against a struggling opponent is crucial as they aim to solidify their playoff positioning. Beyond Maxey, production from Kelly Oubre Jr., who scored 25 points against the Pelicans, and center Andre Drummond will be key. Indiana, deep in a rebuilding phase, continues to evaluate its young core. Walker’s development as a versatile forward is a primary storyline, alongside recent contributions from two-way players like Jay Huff and Quenton Jackson, who combined for 43 points in the loss to Washington. Philadelphia’s upcoming schedule intensifies after this game, with a back-to-back against Miami and Boston later this week. Indiana begins a four-game homestand before embarking on a challenging West Coast trip in early March. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. EST Tuesday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
