Indiana Pacers Betting Preview
The Indiana Pacers have been in terrible form as they’ve lost 20 of their last 22 games overall and they are now on a 16-game losing streak after getting routed by the Spurs in a 134-119 road defeat on Saturday. Andrew Nembhard led the team with 25 points with seven assists on eight of 13 shooting, Jarace Walker added 21 points on eight of 10 shooting, while Pascal Siakam chipped in with 14 points and five assists.
As a team, the Pacers shot 52 percent from the field and 16 of 35 from the 3-point line as they struggled to keep pace from the very start and trailed by as many as 28 points before they finally went on a bit of a run in the second half once the Spurs pulled all their starters.
Orlando Magic Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Orlando Magic have been in their own slump as they are now looking to avoid a fifth straight defeat after falling painfully short to the Lakers in a 105-104 loss on Saturday. Paolo Banchero led the team with 16 points, five rebounds and six assists; Jalen Suggs added 14 points with six assists; while Jevon Carter and Wendell Carter Jr. each scored 13 points.
As a team, the Magic shot 43 percent from the field and 11 of 37 from the 3-point line as they clawed their way back from an early 14-point deficit to take a seven-point lead into the fourth quarter, before they went cold and scored just 10 points in the final 6:19 to allow the Lakers to steal the game on a clutch 3-pointer from Luke Kennard with just 1.0 second left on the clock.

Indiana Pacers vs Orlando Magic Prediction
The Pacers have ruled out Ivica Zubac with Aaron Nesmith, Andrew Nembhard, Obi Toppin and Pascal Siakam all listed as questionable, while the Magic have ruled out Jonathan Isaac, Franz Wagner and Anthony Black. These two teams have already met twice this season, with the Magic winning both meetings by single digits. This is definitely a game where you should check the lineups before tipoff, as the Pacers are sweating on the availability of half of their roster, but at this stage, I prefer a play on the more reliable Magic to get the win and cover at home.
