Indiana Pacers vs Orlando Magic Prediction NBA Picks 11/13/24

The Indiana Pacers and the Orlando Magic duke it out at the Kia Center on Wednesday night. Here’s an Indiana Pacers vs Orlando Magic Prediction. This article will include an Indiana Pacers vs Orlando Magic Pick.

The Indiana Pacers have been in decent shape as they’ve won three of their past four games overall and they will be eager to maintain that momentum after blowing past the Knicks in a 132-121 home win on Sunday. Tyrese Haliburton led the team with 35 points and 14 assists on 11 of 18 shooting, Bennedict Mathurin drained seven 3-pointers to finish with 38 points while Myles Turner chipped in with 26 points, six rebounds, and two blocks. As a team, the Pacers shot 51 percent from the field and a sizzling 21 of 46 from the 3-point line as they struggled to keep pace with the Knicks early on and trailed going into halftime, but they made up for it in the fourth quarter where they poured in 40 points to make it look easy in the end. 

Meanwhile, the Orlando Magic look to have moved on from their five-game skid as they are now gunning for a fourth straight victory after making light work of the Hornets in a 114-89 home win last night. Franz Wagner led the team with 32 points, eight rebounds, and five assists on 14 of 25 shooting, Moritz Wagner added 18 points off the bench while Jalen Suggs chipped in with 17 points but no other player finished in double figures in scoring. As a team, the Magic shot 46 percent from the field and 13 of 44 from the 3-point line, but this win was more about their defense as they kept the Hornets to just 18 points in the second quarter to take the lead into halftime and they just kept the lid on the Hornets till the end to extend their win streak to three games. The Magic will meet the 76ers after this game.

The Pacers are still missing Andrew Nembhard and they have Obi Toppin listed as questionable, while the Magic are still without Paolo Banchero and Wendell Carter Jr. The Pacers are still banged up, but they’re finally starting to get in a groove and they looked great in their big win over the Knicks on Sunday, while the Magic are going for a fourth straight win following last night’s easy win over the Hornets. It’s hard to split these two teams at the moment, but because the Magic are playing their second game of a back-to-back set, I am leaning toward the Pacers to get the narrow win and cover on the road.
