On Monday night, the Philadelphia 76ers travel to the Gainbridge Fieldhouse as they take on the Indiana Pacers, looking to build off their win on Saturday.

Their victory over the Milwaukee Bucks wouldn't come easily, as the Sixers struggled to shoot consistently in the first half, only making 41 percent of their shots.

This issue wasn't the same for the Bucks, as Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jrue Holiday, and Brook Lopez all shot with 62 percent accuracy, dropping double-digit points through the first two quarters.

Granted, Philadelphia would find their footing in the second half, with James Harden going on a 23-point tear, sinking three shots from downtown to help inspire a late-game comeback, which would end the Bucks' 16-game win streak.

While the Sixers won the game, they took some losses on the bench as both Tobias Harris and P.J. Tucker left the game early with injuries, with both of them being listed as questionable ahead of Monday's match in Indiana.

On the other side of the ticket sits the Pacers, who come into Monday off of a buzzer-beater win over the Chicago Bulls. Tyrese Haliburton put the game on ice with 2.7 seconds remaining after draining a deep three-point shot, capping off his 29-point night.

Both, Haliburton and Myles Turner have been downgraded to questionable for Monday night's match, with the pair dealing with soreness.

Players To Watch

Sixers: James Harden

Harden finds himself as the player to watch due to his offensive master class on Saturday night in Milwaukee, ending the game with 38 points and ten assists, missing out on a triple-double by one rebound.

This was the latest chapter in a series of terrific games from Harden on the offensive end, averaging 27 points per game along with nine assists, showing that he can still be the model point guard.

Pacers: Tyrese Haliburton

Fans should keep an eye out for Haliburton for a few different reasons, with the first being his raw scoring ability, leading his side in scoring with an average of 20 points per game.

The second is his ability to step up when needed, as seen against Chicago on Sunday night, while also not shrinking to a big competitor, having found success against Philadelphia earlier on in the season.
