Yahoo Sports: Bringing You the Latest Updates and Analysis

The Philadelphia 76ers suffered their second consecutive loss on Friday, falling to the Toronto Raptors 115-107. Meanwhile, the Indiana Pacers were defeated by the New York Knicks on the road, losing 123-98.

Both teams are coming off losses, but this is the home opener for the Pacers, while the 76ers will play their second straight road game. The 76ers are still without Joel Embiid and Paul George, which has led to a 40.2% field goal percentage from the team (27th).

The Pacers' offense has been clicking with a 50% field goal percentage (4th) on only 106.5 points per game (26th). Indiana ranks last in the NBA from three through two games (19.7%) and Philly is 26th (30%), so this could be an ugly afternoon contest.

We’ve got all the info and analysis you need to know ahead of the game, including the latest info on how to catch the opening tip, projected lineups, recent team performance, player stats, and of course, our predictions, picks & best bets for the game from our modeling tools and staff of experts.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bet

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes Tyrese Maxey to go for a 30-burger in Indiana:

"I lost on Tyrese Maxey Over 29.5 Points at the Raptors on Friday and it was one of the losses that will be in the back of my head all season.

Maxey came out blazing! He scored 19 points in the first half, then went 1-of-7 in the second half for five points to finish with 24. Mind-boggling, but Indiana is a fast-paced tempo team that wants to chuck three-balls as well.

This tempo could serve Maxey well after scoring 24 and 25 points in 39 and 41 minutes. He has combined for 16-of-54 from the field (29.6%) and 4-of-21 from three (19%). Those percentages are poor, but the volume is there for a big game nightly until Embiid and George come back."

Here are the best bets our model is projecting for the Nuggets and the Clippers:

· Moneyline: NBC Sports has strong confidence in the value of Philadelphia ML (+280)

· Spread: NBC Sports finds strength towards taking the points with Philadelphia

· Total: NBC Sports has confidence towards a play on the Total OVER 228.5 points
