They are entering this game on a 5 game winning streak with wins coming against the Sacramento Kings, the Charlotte Hornets, the Utah Jazz, the Denver Nuggets, and the Washington Wizards, but this is also the 2nd game of a back-to-back for them with their game against the Cleveland Cavaliers still to be played on Thursday night.

The current betting odds have the Pacers listed as a 7.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Pacers have looked really good in their games this season with their 48-31 record overall which has them in the top half of the East and in a playoff spot. They have also looked great on their home court this year with their 28-10 home record. Meanwhile, the Magic haven't looked great in their games this season with their 40-40 record overall, but that record has them right in the middle of the East and in a play-in spot. They haven't been a good road team though with their 18-21 road record. The Magic have been really hot lately as they are 8-2 in their last 10 games and they have a ton of momentum on their side with 4 wins in a row now, but this isn't a game they need to try in. They have already clinched their spot in the play-in tournament and they can't really move up or down so they can use this game as an opportunity to rest players. The Pacers have already clinched a playoff spot, but they are still fighting for seeding as they have an opportunity to pass the Knicks and capture the 3rd seed in the East. The Pacers will likely see a weaker Magic lineup here, and the Pacers have been rolling themselves lately. The Pacers are 8-2 in their last 10 games and they have a ton of momentum on their side with 5 wins in a row now. Getting the 3rd seed would be huge for the Pacers since it means a much weaker opponent in the first round so look for them to bring their best effort here as they try to push for that 3rd seed. The best way to place a bet here is on the Pacers to cover the spread in this game.

“Extremely proud of this group. More than anything, being able to endure through all the things – the injuries, guys in, guys out – and still come away (with) getting the division and giving yourself a secured seventh for the opportunity to get into the playoffs. So, I’m proud of our group for that – for being as tough as they are, as resilient as they are, to continue to push through no matter the circumstances.” - Jamahl Mosley after his team’s win against the Celtics in their game on Wednesday.

"I've got to give them credit. They've been a difficult team to play all year. The last game at Washington where we made every shot, I mean, that's an outlier." - Rick Carlisle after his team’s win against the Wizards in their game on Tuesday.
