    Pacers vs. Magic Prediction, Picks, Odds: Latest News, Injury Updates

    play

    The Indiana Pacers host the Orlando Magic on Wednesday, November 6, 2024 at 7:00 p.m. ET. It’s Indiana’s first rematch this season.

    The Pacers (3-4) are coming off their best game of the season, a 134-127 win over the Dallas Mavericks. If Myles Turner could play every game in Dallas, he would be a Hall of Famer. Turner loves returning to his hometown, this time with 30 points and 11 rebounds. Tyrese Haliburton added 25 points and 12 assists.

    The Magic (3-5) are a much different team than they were on Oct. 28, when they beat the Pacers 119-115. Paolo Banchero, who scored 50 points for Indiana, is out with an oblique injury, and Jalen Suggs and Franz Wagner (17.6 points each) now carry a larger load.

    Orlando has lost four straight games to the Pacers, including a 33-point decision to Dallas. The Magic’s last three losses were all by double digits.

    Dustin Dopirak: Pacers 115-106

    The Pacers scored 130 regulation points for the first time this season against the Mavericks. It’s unlikely that Magic is focused on defense. However, Orlando is reeling due to the loss of Paolo Banchero, and the injury to Wendell Carter Jr. doesn’t help either. The Pacers aren’t fully healthy either, with Aaron Nesmith out with an ankle injury and their then-center position. But 50 Orlando points are missing from the last meeting.
