The Orlando Magic will play the Indiana Pacers on Sunday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Tip-off is scheduled for 5:00 p.m. ET.

Orlando (7-5 SU, 9-3 ATS, 4-8 O/U) beat Chicago in consecutive games earlier this week and Indiana (7-4 SU, 7-4 ATS, 10-1 O/U) split two games with Philadelphia. Last year, these teams split their four regular-season meetings.

The Pacers are 3.5-point spread favorites and the game total is 230.5 points. 

Magic: C Wendell Carter Jr. (hand) and PG Markelle Fultz (knee) are out. SG Jalen Suggs (knee) is questionable.

Pacers: PF Jalen Smith (head) is questionable.

The Magic handled their business against Chicago earlier this week, sweeping the Bulls in a two-game set. In Friday's In-Season Tournament win, the Magic shot 48.1 percent and won the rebounding battle 46-34 with ten offensive rebounds. Orlando led by as many as 20 points.

Orlando has enough talent to compete in the Eastern Conference, granted it plays with an edge this season. The Magic are loaded at the frontcourt, as Paolo BancheroFranz Wagner, and Wendell Carter Jr. form an exciting trio. They are hardly the only intriguing players on the roster, however, as veteran guards Joe Ingles and Gary Harris, sophomore guard Jalen Suggs, and floor general Cole Anthony will be difference-makers if this squad is going to make the playoffs.

&# 13;

The Magic score 107.8 points per game (28th) and shoot 45.0 percent from the field (25th), including 32.9 percent from deep (28th). Orlando shoots 74.8 percent (23rd) and averages 44.8 rebounds (12th). Its opponents score 105.8 points per game (4th) and shoot 46.5 percent (18th) with a 35.4 three-point shooting percentage (13th). The Magic rank 28th in schedule-adjusted offensive rating, 3rd in adjusted defensive rating, and 19th in pace of play, per Dunks and Threes.
