Orlando Magic vs Indiana Pacers Prediction
The Indiana Pacers are starting to find their footing with wins in 3 of their last 4 games, and they should like their chances with the rest advantage. The Orlando Magic are on the end of a back-to-back, and these spots are rough for teams undermanned. Paolo Banchero is still out for the Magic. The rested Pacers and their hot offense should be able to push the pace and have success. The Pacers beat the Magic last week. I’ll lay the bucket with the Pacers.
