Indiana Pacers vs Orlando Magic prediction
In an evenly matched game, we expect the Pacers to make the most of their home court to beat the Magic (1.52 at Bet365). Our guess Indiana Pacers vs Orlando Magic: Pacers win!
Pacers
The most interesting thing about today's game is that the Pacers are also betting on their team and their game plan to beat their opponents, and this tactical battle should determine the winner today. Indiana have won four of their last five games, with their last victory coming in Philadelphia five days ago. Let's see if this period will help the team, who will arrive rested, or if it will leave the players a little out of rhythm. All eyes are on Haliburton, who is having an extraordinary season, with averages of almost 25 points and 12 assists.
Magic
The Magic are coming off two consecutive wins in Chicago against the Bulls. It's clear that Michael Jordan's team isn't having a good season, but winning twice in a row there shows the evolution of the Orlando team and their ability to win balanced games, even with a very young squad. Without any big stars, the team relies on teamwork and tactical obedience to make the best decisions and win games.
Play-In
Sunday afternoon and evening full of NBA games. The Indiana Pacers host the Orlando Magic in a clash of two teams that have been very surprising this early in the season. The Pacers (7-4) are fourth in the Eastern Conference, tied on losses with the Bucks, while Orlando (7-5) is slightly behind, and ready to pounce and steal the Pacers' position if they win. Two franchises that didn't even make the Play-In last year have invested in rebuilding their squads, and seem to be reaping good rewards this early in the year.
