Indiana vs Orlando Prediction: the Magic Might Give Up This Time

Prediction for the NBA match between Indiana vs Orlando, which will take place on November 20th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Indiana

The Pacers, led by Rick Carlisle and with Tyrese Haliburton at the point guard position, have made phenomenal strides in offensive efficiency. Indiana ranks first, scoring an insane 126.5 points per game. The Pacers have the highest-scoring offense in the league, but that hasn't stopped them from going 7-4.

Indiana played their last two away games against Philadelphia, losing the first 126-137 but winning the second 132-126.

Orlando

The Magic have won three of their last four games. In addition to two road wins over Chicago (96-94 and 103-97), Jamal Mosley's team beat Milwaukee on their home court (112-97) and lost only to Brooklyn on the road (104-124).

Orlando is almost the opposite of Indiana. The Magic build their game on defense, achieving considerable success - 105.8 points from opponents and the fourth result in the league. Only two teams in the NBA are worse on offense than the Magic. However, like Indiana, Orlando's disparity in scoring has not prevented them from posting stable results - with a 7-5 record, Jamal Mosley's men are seventh in the East.

Expert Betting Tips

Orlando is effective in the halfcourt and ranks among the top 5 in the league in defensive efficiency. But Indiana has caused problems for teams that are not as good this season. The over/under looks like the best bet here, as the Pacers can always concede more than 120 points, even against an offense from the bottom of the efficiency rankings.
