Sixers welcome Pacers to town for important game as the two jockey for positioning in East standings

The Philadelphia 76ers will take on the Indiana Pacers Saturday evening in what is the second game of a back-to-back for Philly. In the first, the Sixers overcame a deficit of as many as 16 points to defeat the New York Knicks 101-96 in Madison Square Garden. Fortunately for Philly, the Pacers also played the evening prior, needing overtime to put away the Atlanta Hawks 105-104. On the season, both the Pacers and the Sixers are 1-1 in SEGABABAs.

The Sixers are looking to extend a two-game winning streak that includes the aforementioned victory over the Knicks and a bounce-back win against the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday after an excruciating loss to the Raptors on Monday.
