Indiana Pacers at Orlando Magic odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Indiana Pacers at Orlando Magic odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Indiana Pacers (5-5) take on the Orlando Magic (6-6) Wednesday at Kia Center. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NBA odds around the Pacers vs. Magic odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Tied 1-1

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

The Magic have won 3 in a row after losing to these Pacers 118-111 Nov. 6. They clipped the Charlotte Hornets’ wings in a 114-89 drubbing Tuesday night. They are battling and grinding without their best player in F Paolo Banchero (oblique), who remains out for this one. F Franz Wagner had 32 points, 8 boards, 5 assists and 3 steals.

Pacers at Magic picks and predictions

Prediction

Pacers 119, Magic 116

Moneyline

It’s a little surprising to see a Magic team without its best player on the back end of a back-to-back in a pick ’em against a team that has dropped 132+ in half of their last 6 games. So I like the Pacers here, but the spread is more fruitful.

Instead, take BENNEDICT MATHURIN OVER 26.5 POINTS+REBOUNDS+ASSISTS (-120). He has 20+ points in 3 straight games.

Against the spread

Take the PACERS ALTERNATE SPREAD -1.5 (+110) here. The Magic got them in this building 119-115 Oct. 28, but that was during Haliburton’s shooting woes and Banchero dropped 50. Neither of those are a factor now.

Over/Under

Both meetings between these teams went Over, and both totals were higher than this one. Indy is 7-3 O/U in its last 10, and Orlando has had just 1 Over cash in its last 6. The question is whether Indiana can score enough to tip this Over, and I think that’s on tap.

Take the OVER 223.5 (-110).

Indiana Pacers at Orlando Magic odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Indiana Pacers at Orlando Magic odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Indiana Pacers (1-2) visit the Orlando Magic (2-1) on Monday. Tip from Kia Center is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NBA odds around the Pacers vs. Magic odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting; Magic won 2 of 3 last season

The Pacers have lost back-to-back games after falling 118-114 in overtime against the Phidaelphia 76ers on Sunday as 8-point home favorites. G Tyrese Haliburton scored a team-high 22 points while 7 Indiana players scored in double figures. The team shot 46.4% from the field.

Orlando’s 2-game winning streak was snapped with a 124-111 loss against the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday while failing to cover as a 1-point road favorite. F Franz Wagner led all scorers with 23 points and G Jalen Suggs added 21. The Magic shot 42.5% from the field.

Pacers at Magic picks and predictions

Prediction

Magic 119, Pacers 111

Moneyline

PASS.

There is minimal value on the Magic (-220) to win at home on Monday.

Against the spread

BET MAGIC -6.5 (-115).

Both of Orlando’s wins have come by 15 or more points with its defense leading the way and allowing 101 or fewer points in 2 of its 3 games. The Pacers have allowed 118 or more points in back-to-back games and scored just 98 points in their last road game. Playing on the second half of a back-to-back, with the first half resulting in an overtime loss, the Pacers will struggle to stick around in Orlando.

Over/Under

BET OVER 224.5 (-110).

The Pacers have scored 114 or more points in 2 of their 3 games while allowing 109 or more points in all 3 of their games this season. The Magic have hit the Over in all 3 of their games while scoring 111 or more points in each.

Indiana Pacers at Orlando Magic odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Indiana Pacers at Orlando Magic odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Indiana Pacers (35-29) take on the Orlando Magic (37-27) Sunday with tip-off from Kia Center set for 6 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Pacers vs. Magic odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Magic lead 2-0

The Pacers come into this game having dropped 3 of 4 after a 113-111 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves Thursday. G Tyrese Haliburton had 23 points and 13 assists in his most productive game since Feb. 22. The Pacers sit in 8th place and are just 1/2 game out of 6th place, which would negate them having to participate in the play-in tournament.

The Magic are in 5th place — 2 full games ahead of Indiana. Orlando had a 5-game winning streak snapped with a 98-74 debacle at the New York Knicks Friday. They return home from that 3-game road trip, where they are 21-8 on the season. F Paolo Banchero has taken his game to another level averaging 25.6 PPG, 7.4 RPG and 5.2 assists over his last 5 games.

Pacers at Magic and predictions

Prediction

Magic 117, Pacers 111

Moneyline

The Magic won both meetings in Indiana by scores of 117-110 and 128-116. The Magic are great at home and 8-2 over their last 10. Indiana just hasn’t been a consistent run-and-gun team like they have been all season. They are averaging 119.1 PPG over their last 10, but when they reach 120, they are 5-1. When they do not, they’re 0-4. The Magic quietly possesses the 3rd-best defense in the league, allowing just 109.4 PPG.

Take the MAGIC -135 or look to the cheaper option on the spread.

Against the spread

The Magic have won each game against Indiana, on the road, by at least 7 points. The spread dropped down from 2.5 to 1.5 Sunday morning, and I’m all about the MAGIC -1.5 (-115) and would consider the ALTERNATE MAGIC -3.5 (+115).

Over/Under

This total jumped up a point Sunday morning, but I felt it was a little mispriced anyway. Both teams are 3-7 O/U over the last 10, but both matchups in Indiana cleared this number. Even through its struggles, Indiana is still averaging 119 of the 225 needed to clear this number over its last 10.

Take the OVER 224.5 (-105).

The Indiana Pacers (26-35) battle the Orlando Magic (25-35) Saturday. Tip from the Amway Center is set for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Pacers vs. Magic odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Indiana comes into this game following a 142-138 overtime home loss to Boston Thursday, covering as a 7.5-point underdog. It is just 1-6 straight up over its last 7 and is 3-4 against the spread (ATS) over that span. The Pacers are 32-29 ATS this season.

Pacers at Magic picks and predictions

Prediction

Magic 116, Pacers 113

Moneyline

PASS.

The Pacers at (+120) has some value, but they are just 8-20 straight up on the road. I would avoid a moneyline wager here.

Against the spread

LEAN MAGIC -2.5 (-108).

The Magic have won 2 of their last 3 at home with their sole loss being a 107-103 overtime loss to Miami. Orlando is 17-13 ATS at the Amway Center this season.

The Pacers, on the other hand, are 12-16 ATS on the road, so they haven’t played well away from Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Orlando is also 14-9-1 ATS following a win, which it will be here.

Back the MAGIC -2.5 (-108).

Over/Under

BET UNDER 232.5 (-112).

The Magic have gone Under in 6 of their last 7 games and have scored fewer than 110 points in 4 of their last 6. The Pacers have scored 117 or fewer in 9 of their last 10.

They are 13-15 O/U on the road this season. Neither team has that go-to superstar, 20-point scorer this season.

Back the UNDER 232.5 (-112).

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.

Indiana Pacers at Orlando Magic odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Indiana Pacers at Orlando Magic odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Indiana Pacers (21-41) visit Amway Center Monday to take on the Orlando Magic (14-47). Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Pacers vs. Magic odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

The Pacers pushed their home record to 15-18 with an impressive 128-107 win over the Boston Celtics Sunday. On the road is a different story as they’re just 6-23 with an against the spread (ATS) record of 13-15-1.

The Pacers are led by G Tyrese Haliburton. They sit 13th in the Eastern Conference.

The Magic are 15th in the East and hold the NBA’s worst record at 14-47. They’re just 6-21 at home. Orlando is 4-6 ATS over its last 10 games and is coming off a 119-111 win over the Houston Rockets as a 3.5-point home favorite Friday.

The Magic are led by G Cole Anthony and C Wendell Carter Jr. Former No. 1 overall pick G Markelle Fultz is expected to make his season debut Monday.

Pacers at Magic odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Pacers 118, Magic 115

Money line

BET on the PACERS (+100).

The Pacers are actually entering this matchup with as many road wins as Orlando has home wins. Orlando rarely defends home court so Indiana is a good play despite its poor road record.

Indiana has also played far better as of late and has covered the spread in three of its last four games.

The trio of G Malcolm Brogdon, G Buddy Hield and Haliburton combined for 63 points against the Celtics, a team that sits second in the league in defensive rating. They should be able to find success against a weaker defensive team.

Orlando is 2-3 ATS since the trade deadline and is just 2-6 straight up over its last eight games, only defeating the Portland Trail Blazers and Houston Rockets. The Pacers are playing better basketball and have the more talented team.

I’d bet that they came out on top in this one.

PLAY: Free, daily sports pick’em contests. Play now!

Against the spread

PASS.

I’d prefer to play the money line here. The Pacers’ last matchup with Orlando was a 1-point home loss and their season-opening match against the Charlotte Hornets was their only other 1-point game.

Considering the rarity (twice in 62 games), I’d prefer the better odds on the money line.

Over/Under

“LEAN” to the OVER 232.5 (-110).

If there’s one thing that neither team can do well, it’s defend.

The Pacers rank 27th in defensive rating and the Magic rank 24th. Orlando has given up over 110 points per game in five straight matchups and allowed over 120 in three of its last four outings.

Orlando is 32-28-1 O/U while Indiana is 34-27-1 O/U on the year. The Pacers are 8-2 O/U over their last 10 and have scored 125 or more points in consecutive games.

This has all the makings of a high-scoring battle.

Indiana Pacers at Orlando Magic odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Sunday’s Indiana Pacers at Orlando Magic NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The Indiana Pacers (28-31) travel to meet the Orlando Magic (18-41) Sunday at Amway Center. Tip-off is set for 8 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Pacers-Magic odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

The Pacers picked up a 115-109 win against the visiting Detroit Pistons on Saturday. Indiana has won two in a row for the first time since a three-game win streak from April 7-11, which includes its last trip to Orlando.

The Magic was dusted 135-100 by the New Orleans Pelicans on Thursday night, losing for the fourth straight outing.

Orlando has also failed to cover in each of the past four, and is 1-6 ATS across the past seven. The Magic did cover April 9 in a 111-106 loss to the Pacers, barely, as six-point dogs.

Pacers at Magic: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Pacers 118, Magic 108

Money line (ML)

The Pacers (-225) will cost you more than two times your potential return, and that’s a risky proposition since they’re on the road. It’s just a little past my personal limit of -180 for a money line play.

PASS.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

The PACERS -5.5 (-110) is the way to go, and a much better value than just playing the money line.

Indiana is 16-7-1 ATS across the past 24 games as a road favorite and 16-5-1 ATS in the past 22 on the road against teams with a losing home mark.

On the flip side, the Magic +5.5 (-110) are skidding hard, failing to cash in each of the past four, while going 0-4 ATS in the past four at home, too, and 0-4 ATS in the previous four as an underdog.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 224.5 (-115) is the play according to the trends and don’t worry about Indiana having just played Saturday night.

The Pacers have hit the Over in 15 of their past 20 games on the road while going 5-2 in the past seven overall. And the Over is 5-1 in their past six when playing on no rest.

The Magic has hit the Over in five of the past six, and five of the previous six as an underdog, too.

The Over is also 6-2 in Orlando’s past eight at home, and 6-1 in the past seven meetings with Indiana, too.
