Betting on the Indiana Pacers
- Season record: 24-25.
The Indiana Pacers are going through one of the most complicated moments of the season, dragging a bad streak of results that have made them drop several positions in the Eastern Conference. The visitors have lost 7 of the 8 most recent matches they have played, and most of the defeats have been by a considerable difference of points in the final score.
There are several problems that are affecting this squad. First, they are not being solid on defense, averaging 116.8 points received per night, an amount that has them among the worst teams in this department. The second drawback is that their best player, Tyrese Haliburton, has already missed 6 games due to injury, and will not be available for this game either. Without him, Indiana loses its leader in scoring and assists.
Betting on Orlando Magic
- Season record: 18-29.
Orlando Magic is in the third to last position in the Eastern Conference with a really deplorable record. However, they will be back on their home field after a big win against the Boston Celtics, one of the teams that will be contending for the title this season.
Paolo Banchero is helping his franchise to have a little more fire on offense, as they are the third-worst team in this area with an average of 111 units per game, which is not enough, especially if they are not good on defense either. Orlando has a 12-12 record at home and after winning their last two home games, they are confident heading into this game.
JefeBet Prediction
The home team is the favorite to win this match, as they will be much more rested compared to their rival. In addition, they have had good results at Amway Center recently.
Chuma Okeke is the only player who will not be available for the home team, while the Pacers are still missing Haliburton, a player without whom they are unable to play.
After falling in the first two meetings, the Orlando Magic has a golden opportunity to get another win that will allow them to make up a little more of the negative record they have so far in the regular season.
Prediction: Orlando Magic moneyline.
