Pacers at Magic picks and predictions
Prediction
Magic 116, Pacers 109
Moneyline
PASS.
Even with the Magic (-210) expected to come away with a victory on Wednesday, taking them straight up isn’t worth doing at the current odds.
Against the spread
MAGIC -5.5 (-105) is how I’d wager on the spread in this contest. The Pacers have struggled to keep games close with G Tyrese Haliburton sidelined due to an injury.
The Pacers are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 road games and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall. Meanwhile, the Magic are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall.
Over/Under
This total feels a bit too high, so UNDER 232.5 (-108) feels like the ideal choice in this matchup. Both of these teams are bottom 9 teams in offensive rating this season and Haliburton will be out again for Indiana.
