Pacers vs Magic Prediction, Picks & Odds for Tonight’s NBA Game The Indiana Pacers are set to face the Orlando Magic in a matchup that promises to be a test of offensive firepower for the Magic. The game, scheduled for 7 p.m. ET at the Kia Center in Orlando, will see the Pacers, who have lost 16 straight games, take on a Magic team looking to capitalize on their recent offensive success. Desmond Bane, the Magic’s star guard, is expected to play a pivotal role in the outcome, as he has consistently outperformed the Pacers this season. Bane, who averages 20.4 points per game in his first season with the Magic, has been particularly dominant against Indiana, scoring 24.5 points per contest in their matchups. His ability to thrive at home, where he averages 22.5 points compared to 19.5 on the road, makes him a key factor in the game. The Pacers’ defense, ranked among the worst in the league, has struggled to contain Bane, and his performance is likely to be a major storyline. The best bet for the game is Bane to exceed 20.5 points, with odds set at -120. The Magic’s offensive output is another critical element of the game. Orlando is averaging 115.3 points per game, but they will face a Pacers defense that has allowed an average of 127 points over their last four contests. The Magic’s ability to score efficiently against a weak defense could lead to a high-scoring affair. A team total over 122.5 points is also a strong proposition, as the Magic have shown a tendency to dominate when facing struggling opponents. Jalen Suggs, the Magic’s playmaker, adds another layer to the betting options. Suggs, who averages 5.3 assists per game, has been reliable in his outings, cashing the Over in four of his last six games. His performance could be crucial in setting up Bane’s scoring opportunities.#indiana_pacers #desmond_bane #orlando_magic #jalen_suggs #wendell_carter_jr
