Philadelphia at Indiana

October 28, 2026
img7:00 PM Eastern

Philadelphia's only loss this season came Sunday, 106-93 to Detroit, with Joel Embiid and VJ Edgecombe both ruled out before tipoff. The Sixers were outrebounded 54-37, and Detroit pulled down 15 offensive boards. Embiid and Edgecombe are both off the injury report for tonight. In Philadelphia's Saturday win over Milwaukee, Embiid scored 28 points with 10 assists, and Edgecombe grabbed 13 rebounds. The Sixers won by 11, and their other two wins came by 6 and 8. Indiana is 2-2 and 0-1 at home, where it lost 121-105 to Dallas. On Monday, the Pacers lost 110-102 in Milwaukee, the Bucks' first win of the season. Ivica Zubac is out with an ankle injury, and T.J. McConnell is out with a hamstring injury. Tyrese Haliburton is questionable with a hamstring issue, and Andrew Nembhard is questionable with a neck issue. Haliburton has played at least 31 minutes in each of Indiana's four games, and the Pacers are 2-2 in them. With Embiid and Edgecombe back and Indiana missing its starting center, I'm laying the points with Philadelphia tonight.
