Their last loss was against the Los Angeles Clippers while their 3 wins in that span came against the Chicago Bulls, the Detroit Pistons, and the Dallas Mavericks in their last game. They still have a game against the Bulls on Tuesday night that needs to be played first with that result still pending so this will be the 2nd leg of a back-to-back on Wednesday night for them.

The Magic are coming into this game as a 4.5 point underdog with the current betting odds according to the bookmakers. The Magic have been playing a lot better in their recent games and they have won 3 of their last 4. The Pacers are coming off of a win in their last game but they have not been playing as well as the Magic recently. The Pacers have won 2 of their last 3 games but those 2 wins came against 2 bad teams such as the Clippers and the Thunder while the Magic have been winning games against tougher opponents and playing much better in the games they lose. The Magic have won 3 of their last 4 and 2 of those wins came against the Mavericks and the Bulls who have both been playing very well recently. The Pacers have been awful this season and the Magic do not go on runs often but you have to ride them when they do. The best bet to place in this game is on the Magic to cover the spread here as this is a game they have a good chance of winning.
