Pacers Game Tonight: Pacers vs Magic Odds, Injury Report, and Predictions for Feb. 28
By Zach Pearson
The Indiana Pacers get their first win after the All-Star break, beating the Boston Celtics 128-107 last night. The Celtics are the current 6th seed in the east, one of the better teams the Pacers have beaten in some time.
Now, the Pacers face one of the worst teams in basketball, the Orlando Magic, who will be missing some of their key players as well. The Magic hold a record of 14-47, the worst in the NBA.
On the season, the Pacers are 15-18 at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse and 10-29 against the East. Indiana ranks 18th in offensive rating and 26th in defensive rating while the Magic are 28th and 24th in the same departments.
Pacers rookies Chris Duarte and Isaiah Jackson should be good to go in this contest, as the Pacers get closer to a fully healthy roster.

Indiana Pacers vs Orlando Magic Prediction
The Pacers are fresh off a win last night, beating the Celtics by 21 points is no easy task. They should have an easier time matchup-wise tonight. Tyrese Haliburton and Malcolm Brogdon played well in their second game together, however, Brogdon will miss tonight’s game to manage his Achilles.
Markelle Fultz makes his season debut against the Pacers after tearing his ACL aver year ago. Fultz averaged 12.9 points per game and shot just over 25% from behind the arc in his last season. The Magic will have Franz Wagner, who is the team’s second-leading scorer behind Cole Anthony.
Pacers 116, Magic 104
