Despite a horrendous start last night against the Houston Rockets on the road, the Indiana Pacers slowly managed to pull off a big comeback, rallying back from a 20-point deficit to notch their third consecutive victory, now standing at 8-6 on the season.
On the second night of a back-to-back, the Pacers head back home to kick off a four-game homestand, starting with a two-game series against the young Orlando Magic which are also coming off a game last night.
Last season, the Magic won the season series, winning two out of three contests against the Pacers. Indiana leads the all-time series, 68-51, and has won seven of the last nine head-to-head matchups.

Pacers Injury Report

Indiana Pacers vs Orlando Magic Prediction
Both teams are fatigued on the second leg of a back-to-back. While the Pacers could very well come into this game without Tyrese Haliburton, their leader in points and assists per game, expect the home team’s role players to rise up to the plate, and ultimately overpower an inconsistent Orlando Magic team with their depth for their fourth straight victory.
Pacers 111, Magic 106
