Pick against the spread, best player prop for Pacers vs. Sixers on Monday

The Indiana Pacers and Philadelphia 76ers will begin the month with a matchup in Philadelphia on Monday, March 1st. The 76ers were never able to sustain a winning streak of more than two wins in February, though they still have the best record in the Eastern Conference at 22-12, which is a half game ahead of the Brooklyn Nets.

Indiana will enter with a 15-17 record, which is a tie for ninth place in the East, a half game behind the Charlotte Hornets. After seeing a pair of games postponed, the Pacers lost three straight games closing out the month of February and will look to end that skid.

Pacers vs. Sixers, 7:00 p.m. ET, NBA League Pass

Pick ATS: Pacers +4.5

This is not the best spot for Indiana, going into the third game of a four-game road trip, but Philadelphia still does not seem to have that killer instinct to give a full effort every night. The 76ers are coming off an overtime loss at home to the 13-21 Cleveland Cavaliers, and they could be without their top two scorers as Joel Embiid and Tobias Harris are questionable to play with injuries. Indiana has injury concerns as well with Malcolm Brogdon and Jeremy Lamb questionable, but 4.5 points is too many points for Philadelphia to cover.
