Indiana Pacers vs Philadelphia 76ers: Tobias Harris is out, final injury report, official starting lineups for January 25
The Indiana Pacers and Philadelphia 76ers square off for the third and final time of the 2023-24 NBA season tonight in Indianapolis. The two teams split the first two games, which were played in Philly back in November.
The 76ers are one of the hottest teams in the NBA right now while the Pacers have lost three games in a row, so the road team should be favorites. Sixers star Joel Embiid scored 70 points on Monday — Indiana will need a team effort to slow him down. "There's a lot more advancement of the game... from a defensive standpoint, it makes things difficult just to guard a three-level scorer," Pacers center Myles Turner said this week of defending skilled big men.
Here are the official starting lineups and injury reports for the action.
