Rockets vs. Pacers Prediction on Spread
According to the NBA injury report, Rockets F Kevin Durant (ankle) and C Steven Adams (ankle) are out. Indiana, meanwhile, features a healthy rotation, excluding the long-term absences of Pacers G Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles) and F Obi Toppin (foot). Between Houston’s injuries and a home advantage, Indiana is only a 5.5-point underdog.
Over the last six games, the Pacers totaled 13.5 made 3-pointers per game, surpassing their 12.6 season average (22nd). Plus, Indiana has shot an efficient 36.8% from deep in the split (34.4% on the season).
Ranked fifth-best in defensive rating by NBA Advanced Stats, the Rockets have the answer by limiting opponents to only 12.1 made (fifth) and 35.0 attempted triples per game (sixth). Furthermore, they give up a 39.7% 3-point shot distribution (sixth), per Dunks & Threes.
If Indiana cannot find success from deep, its scoring could be limited, as its interior attack totals just 45.2 points in the paint per game (25th).
Houston’s offense racks up 53.0 points in the paint per contest (seventh), while its shot distribution around the rim is 31.0% (19th). The Pacers cede 53.8 points in the paint per game (28th) and a 34.9% shot distribution around the rim (26th).
Extra possessions could be the final nail in the coffin, with the Rockets first in offensive rebounding percentage, whlie to Indiana ranks 24th.
76ers vs. Clippers Prediction, Spread, Over/Under
Peacock’s second matchup of a doubleheader between the Philadelphia 76ers (27-21) and the Los Angeles Clippers (23-25) headlines Monday’s schedule. Ahead of tonight’s 10:00 p.m. ET tip off, the 76ers have won three consecutive games, while the Clippers boast an 8-2 mark over their last 10 games.
As 5.5-point dogs, Philadelphia defeated L.A. 110-108 on November 17. This has been a tight head-to-head matchup, with the Sixers carrying a 6-4 record in the last 10 collisions.
Los Angeles leads the trends with a 7-3 ATS record in the past 10 matchups.
- Spread: Los Angeles Clippers -2.5
- Over/Under: 219.5
- Game Winner Payout: 76ers 2x | Clippers 1.72x

76ers vs. Clippers Prediction on Total
76ers C Joel Embiid (ankle) is probable to make his fourth consecutive appearance tonight, but 76ers F Paul George will serve his second absence of a 25-game suspension. After missing Sunday’s game (personal), ESPN’s team injury page lists Clippers G James Harden as day-to-day.
With star players potentially absent, a low-scoring bout could be imminent. Both defenses carry advantages in limiting the opposing team’s strength.
For example, Los Angeles loves to launch triples with a 43.0% shot distribution (11th) and a 36.6% 3-point percentage (10th). The Sixers surrender a 40.2% shot distribution from deep (10th) and 36.2 attempts per game (12th).
On the other side of the court, Philly is fifth in shot distribution around the rim, but the Clips give up a 29.6% shot distribution in the painted area (seventh) and 47.5 points in the paint per collision (ninth).
Adding to the potential low-scoring matchup, Los Angeles features the third-slowest pace, while Philadelphia ranks 12th for the slowest tempo.
