Magic vs. Pacers Picks

Point Spread Pick for Magic vs. Pacers

  • Orlando Magic to cover. (4 Units)

The Magic have the edge in this game because they’re playing well offensively, scoring more than 117 points per game on the road, while making over 46 percent of their shots. They’ve also done a better job at the charity stripe, making over 78 percent of their free throws in their last three games, while the Pacers made less than 75 percent of theirs. They rebound the ball well and grab more than 13 offensive rebounds per game on the road, which will give them more scoring chances. They also cut down their turnovers in recent games and won’t give up many easy-scoring chances. The Pacers aren’t very good defensively, and they gave up more than 130 points per game in their last three games, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Magic. Take Orlando to cover the spread.

Over/Under Pick for Magic vs. Pacers

  • Over (4 Units)

The Magic average 116.8 points per game. They play at the 17th-fastest pace in the league, averaging 104.1 possessions per game, and they’re facing a team that gave up 136 points per game in their last three games.

They play at the 15th-fastest pace in the league, averaging 104.4 possessions per game, and they’re facing a team that is giving up 117.5 points per game on the road.
