In a wild change of events, the Philadelphia 76ers are playing a team Friday night that actually (probably) wants to win the game as the Indiana Pacers come to town.

The 36-28 Pacers are currently fifth in the Eastern Conference, with just half a game separating them and the No. 4 Milwaukee Bucks. Indiana most recently broke a three-game skid with a one-point victory over the Bucks on Tuesday evening.
