The Philadelphia 76ers are on the road this New Year’s Eve for a late afternoon bout against the Indiana Pacers. The Sixers hope to get back in the win column after dropping their last two — a back-to-back against the Orlando Magic and Miami Heat. The Pacers, coincidentally, enter as losers of their last two, a back-to-back that also involved a loss to Miami.
On the year, Indiana sits at 6th in the Eastern Conference standings with a record of 21-12, just a game back of the 5th place Sixers.
