Randy’s Pick
The Pacers have been one of the bigger surprises in the league this season, with wins in 5 of their last 7 and one of the best offenses. They should be favored at home. However, the Orlando Magic have played decent ball this season, they're a feisty bunch, and they're 9-3 ATS on the year. Also, 4 of the Magic's 7 wins have come on the road. The Magic are a team worth backing in their current form. Give me the road dog.
