The Pacers are coming into this game with a 1-2 record this season and they are going to be hungry to bounce back in this game. They opened the season with a 6 point win over the Pistons in Detroit, but they have followed up with 2 straight losses. They lost on the road against the Knicks who were able to get their revenge on the Pacers for kicking them out of the playoffs last season, but now they are coming off of another loss in their 1st home game of the year. They lost a close game against the 76ers in OT by 4 points at home and now they are playing on a B2B here, but this is a younger team that has the energy to play hard on this B2B and they are not going to be satisfied with themselves after losing their home opener in OT. They are going up against a Magic team that is 2-1 this season and was improving a lot last year. The Magic won their first 2 games of the season, blowing out the Heat on the road in their 1st game and following up with a blowout win over the Nets in their home opener, but now they are coming off of their 1st loss of the season in their last game. They lost on the road to the Grizzlies by 13 points and it was a game they found themselves down big right from the start. The Pacers have played from behind in each of their last 2 games so they are going to be pushing to come out with a stronger start in this game and play with a lead. The Magic have been playing well this season, but this is still the same Pacers team that was in the NBA Championship last season and they will come out strong in this game after the way they lost to the 76ers last night. The Pacers can win this game on the road, but they will keep it close even in a loss. The Pacers will cover the spread in this game.
