Indiana Pacers vs Orlando Magic Prediction

🔮 Expert Prediction

Look, the Pacers are a mess. They just lost to the Pistons 121-117, a team with an even worse record. Orlando, meanwhile, is riding high, winners of seven of their last ten games, including a 111-96 thrashing of the Pelicans last week where Paolo Banchero dropped 27 points.

The key matchup to watch is Franz Wagner against anyone the Pacers throw at him; he's been consistently carving up defenses, averaging 18.5 points in March. Thing is, Indiana's defense is porous, giving up over 120 points per game in their last five outings. This one won't be close.

Orlando wins, 118-98.
