Betting on the Indiana Pacers
- Regular Season Record: 26-34
The Indiana Pacers had a tough matchup last Thursday when they hosted the Boston Celtics, one of the best teams in their conference. However, now they will have to travel to a foreign court to try to get a win against an opponent that is at a similar level to theirs.
They have been unlucky this season when it comes to away games, losing 20 of the 28 matches played.
One of the factors that has considerably affected the performance of this team is the defense, which averages 117.2 points received per game, making it the ninth-worst team in this aspect.
Betting on the Orlando Magic
- Regular Season Record: 24-35
The Orlando Magic had a more accessible opponent in their most recent outing, hosting the Detroit Pistons in this same venue last Thursday. Despite this, it seems that no game will be easy for the home team this time around, not even at home, where they have a 14-15 record.
In fact, they have lost three of the four most recent games at the Amway Center, winning only against the absolute leader of the Western Conference, the Denver Nuggets.
And, believe it or not, that’s nothing new with the numbers the team has achieved to carry out a campaign. They are the third-worst team offensively, with an average of 110.9 points, while on defense they average 113.7 units received, a slightly better figure than their opponents, but that is not compensated by the offense.
JefeBet Prediction
The last four matches between these two teams have ended with numerous points in the final score, a trend that may continue in this new duel, taking into account the weaknesses of both teams.
Orlando doesn’t possess much offensive firepower, but Indiana’s ease on defense makes things easier for this and any other franchise that struggles on offense.
On the other hand, the visitors competed very well last night against Boston, so they are expected to put in a similar performance this Saturday, which will surely allow them to achieve a high number of points on the scoreboard.
Prediction: Over.
