Magic vs Pacers Prediction | NBA Picks

Moreover, in addition to the aforementioned betting statistics, Orlando is 1-1 as a favorite, 10-40 as an underdog and 16-13 ATS away, while Indiana is 11-13 as a favorite, 8-20 as an underdog and 14-11-1 ATS at home. Both teams have several players listed out on their injury reports. In some ways, the Pacers are in worse shape than the Magic. Indiana is still without T.J. Warren, T.J. McConnell, Domantas Sabonis, Myles Turner and Malcolm Brogdon. And, Goga Bitadze is sitting, too.

Heading into this intraconference contest, however, Indiana is a four-point favorite at home. One thing history is showing us is that the Magic have failed to beat the Pacers these last three seasons. Therefore, contemplate picking the Pacers to win, they will cover the spread at home and the total will go over 224. If you want to learn more about sports betting, read our handicap betting guide.
