The Indiana Pacers host the Orlando Magic on Friday night, and if you’re looking to do some last-minute betting research, you’re in luck! We’ll give you the latest point spread, moneyline odds and over-under number, as well as the information you’ll need to make the smartest bet on BetMGM.
The game tips off at 7:00 p.m. ET and can be seen on Fox Sports Indiana and Fox Sports Florida.
The Pacers (8-6) are on a two-game losing streak after falling to Luka Doncic and the Mavs earlier this week, but a date with the Magic (7-8) could be just what Indiana needs. Orlando is coming off a thrilling 97-96 win over the Timberwolves, but has lost six of seven.
Caris LeVert and T.J. Warren are out for the Pacers, and Myles Turner is questionable with a right hand fracture. The Magic will be missing Mo Bamba, Al-Farouq Aminu, Markelle Fultz, Jonathan Isaac and Chuma Okeke, and Michael Carter-Williams is questionable with a foot sprain.

- Point spread: Pacers -4.5

- Over-under: 217.5

Advice and prediction
Since losing Fultz, the Magic have gone 1-7 against the spread, even in their win against the Timberwolves when they were favored by four. Indiana is 4-4 ATS this season as a favorite, and while Victor Oladipo’s depature and Caris LeVert’s absence has left a sizable hole in the rotation, I just can’t trust the Magic here. The Pacers are healthier and have a better roster. Let’s not overthink this, Pacers -4.5.
Prediction: Pacers 112, Magic 104
