After pulling out a win on Monday night in Cleveland, the Pacers return to Bankers Life Fieldhouse for their final homestand of the season, which tips off Tuesday when Indiana (32-36) hosts East-leading Philadelphia (47-21) on the second night of a back-to-back.
The Pacers magic number to secure a berth in the NBA s new Play-In Tournament is down to two following a 111-102 victory over the Cavs. The Pacers could secure a Play-In berth with a win on Tuesday and a Chicago loss to Brooklyn.

The Indiana Pacers (32-36) are coming off a big win on Monday against the Cavaliers 111-102. The victory had them surpass the Wizards (32-37) in the standings, and heading into Tuesday; they are the ninth seed in the Eastern Conference with a half-game lead over the Wizards and a three-game lead over the Chicago Bulls (29-39).
On Tuesday, they will welcome the 76ers led by Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid to Indianapolis. Embiid is questionable for the game but has been playing at an MVP-level all season that he has been on the floor.

The Pacers last week of the regular season continues on Tuesday night when they host the Philadelphia 76ers.
The Pacers continue to harbor hope of jumping to the 8th seed in the East while also trying to avoid dropping out of the playoffs altogether. Currently, the Pacers are one loss behind the Hornets for the 8-seed, although Charlotte has the tie breaker. The Pacers will likely have to lose out to fall out of the playoffs, but their improved play over the past few games will be tested by Philly, assuming Joel Embiid is available.
