Indiana Pacers vs Orlando Magic Preview

The Indiana Pacers’ defeat to the Celtics last time out was hardly a surprise but it did halt a run of four straight wins which lifted the side up to sixth in the Eastern Conference. By contrast, Orlando Magic are free fall with eight defeats on the bounce seeing Magic’s head coach Frank Vogel coming under increasing pressure to turn things around quickly. With home advantage, the Pacers will look at this game as a chance to out that Boston loss behind them and get back to winning ways, although Orlando will be keen to conjure up some missing magic in an attempt to stop them.

Indiana Pacers vs Orlando Magic Betting Tips

Ladbrokes’ latest NBA odds have left us with a smile on our faces after their outright price for an Indiana win leaves us with plenty of opportunity for profit. Four wins in their last five is impressive in its own right but coupled with Magic’s eight straight losses, it makes for pleasant reading but it can be dangerous just following the form book. Where the price becomes even more intriguing is in the head to heads as Indiana appear to enjoy facing their opponents. The last three matches have all seen the Pacers come away victorious no matter where the game has been played. For a match shaping up to be so one-sided, to get the odds that Ladbrokes are offering looks a real steal and one you cannot afford to miss. The Pacers are set to cause Orlando even more misery and the question has to be asked, has the Magic run out already this season?

To pull the odds slightly closer to evens, then Betfair offer a good price for a short handicap of just -3 on the Pacers. The reason this is impressive is because Indiana’s last four wins this season have come by 3, 8, 25, and 7 points respectively making for some pretty heavyweight scoring. The last three matches against Magic have seen the Pacers win by some big margins. Eight, eleven, and fifteen points have been those margins and they occurred when Orlando were not in such a quandary. Granted, Magic’s dismal form will not last forever, but Indiana’s confidence is sky high and even a loss to the Celtics last time out has done little to dampen their spirits. Indiana are set to make it five wins from six and continue to impress in the Eastern Conference whilst Magic may soon have to accept that this just hasn’t been their year.
