After a bit of a hectic Saturday slate, the NBA decided to pump the brakes on this fine Sunday. We’re looking at 5 games on the schedule, though only 4 of them appear on the main slates on DraftKings and FanDuel. The banged-up Sixers will face the Pacers in a matinee affair, while the main slates tip off a little earlier than usual at 6 PM ET.
So with all that in mind, let’s take a deeper dive.

Here’s where I’ll provide updates as news trickles in.
Team Previews
Philadelphia 76ers (at IND)
The Sixers are listed as 8-point underdogs today in Indianapolis, as they continue to play without Joel Embiid and Paul George. Tyrese Maxey (32.6%) is predictably dominating the usage with those guys out, and the matchup against the fast-paced Indiana side is terrific. Kelly Oubre (27.8%) is playing a high-usage secondary role starting on the wing, while Andre Drummond (1.27 DK FP/minute) is making the most of his starting opportunity sans Embiid. Caleb Martin predictably drew the start over KJ Martin in the last game and once again saw the lion’s share of the minutes (33). Another note is that Kyle Lowry started over Eric Gordon in the last game, though both players saw minutes similar to those they played when the roles were reversed in the season opener.
