Despite another terrible start to the game offensively, the Indiana Pacers outpaced the Orlando Magic in a game of runs, ultimately winning at home by a hair, 114-113, to win their fourth straight victory and climb to 9-6 on the season.
The Pacers face the Magic for the second consecutive time, though the visitors will surely be focused on avenging a game that felt like theirs for the taking last Saturday night despite losing multiple key players due to injury, including first-overall pick Paolo Banchero.
Last season, the Magic won the season series, winning two out of three contests against the Pacers. Indiana leads the all-time series, 69-51, and has won eight of the last ten head-to-head matchups.

Indiana Pacers vs Orlando Magic Prediction
The Pacers were clearly bothered by the Magic’s smothering length on Saturday. However, with a more rested team this time, they should be able to thwart Orlando once more behind a more energetic scoring attack. Franz Wagner, Bol Bol, and Jalen Suggs have been playing well recently, but take the hosts as the victors here.
Pacers 112, Magic 107
