Odds, tips and predictions for the Indiana Pacers at Orlando Magic

The Indiana Pacers (5-5) record it Orlando magic (6-6) Wednesday at the Kia Center. The meeting point is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze the 24/7 NBA odds from BetMGM Sportsbook Pacers vs. Magic Opportunities and meet our expert NBA picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: 1-1 draw

The Pacers have won 3 of 4 following a 132-121 shootout against the New York Knicks on Sunday. G Tyrese Haliburton shrugged off his early-season shooting woes, dropping 35 points and 14 dimes. F Benedict Mathurin 38 points and 8 boards conceded. Add C Myles Turner Dropping 26 points on 5-for-8 shooting from 3-point land, and that’s a recipe not many opposing teams can overcome.

The Magic have won three straight after losing to the Pacers 118-111 on November 6th. They clipped the wings of the Charlotte Hornets 114:89 on Tuesday night. They struggle and grind without their best player in F Paolo Banchero (diagonal), which remains outside in this case. F Franz Wagner had 32 points, 8 boards, 5 assists and 3 steals.

Pacers at Magic picks and predictions

forecast

Pacers 119, Magic 116

Money line

It’s a little surprising to see a Magic team without its best player at the end of a back-to-back pick-’em game against a team that has lost by more than 132 in half of its last six games. So I like the Pacers here, but the spread is more fruitful.

Take instead BENNEDICT MATHURIN OVER 26.5 POINTS+REBOUNDS+ASSISTS (-120). He has 20+ points in 3 consecutive games.

Against the spread

Take this PACERS ALTERNATE SPREAD -1.5 (+110) Here. The Magic beat them 119-115 in this building on Oct. 28, but that was during Haliburton’s shooting woes and Banchero dropped 50 points. Neither plays a role anymore.

Over/Under

Both meetings between these teams came to an end and both totals were higher than this one. Indy is 7-3 O/U in their last 10 games and Orlando has only had 1 over cash in their last 6. The question is whether Indiana can score enough points to overturn this over, and I think that’s foreseeable.

Take this OVER 223.5 (-110).
