*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, Friday, February 24th. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Saturday, February 25th.
Indiana Pacers
Certainly, Kevin Pritchard is one of the savviest front-office execs who is equally adept at drafting talent and pulling off quality trades.
Evidence of both of these practices is on the current roster with Benn Mathurin and Andrew Nembhard shining as rookies while the Tyrese Haliburton trade might go down in history as one of the rare trades that improved both teams.
Keeping Myles Turner instead of trading him also is turning out to be one of the execs’ better decisions. Turner showed his appreciation for the 2-year, $58M contract extension delivering a double-double of 40 points and 10 rebounds including a blistering 8 of 10 from deep versus Boston.
Stats
The Pacers average 114.9 points per game ranking 12th while shooting 46.0% from the field and 36.3% from deep ranking 25th and 11th.
Defensively, Indy allows 117.5 points per game ranking 24th while opponents shoot 47.7% from the field and 37.5% from the perimeter ranking 20th and 29th respectively.
Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Kendell Brown (Questionable – G League)
- Trevelin Queen (Questionable – G League)
Orlando Magic
On the positive side, since the turn of the calendar, the Magic have performed above .500 (12-11) and looked more like one of the teams challenging for a play-in seed.
Part of their ascent is tied to the youngsters finding chemistry, and standout rookie Paolo Banchero. But don’t discount the return of Jonathan Isaac or the copious big men the Magic have on the roster which embodies the new-age positionless mentality.
Stats
Offensively the Magic average 110.9 points per game which rank 28th while they shoot 47.0% from the field and 35.1% from the perimeter with the latter two categories ranking 17th and 21st.
Defensively, the Magic hold opponents to 113.5 points per game which ranks 17th, and limit them to 47.5% from the field and 34.8% from the perimeter which ranks 17th and sixth respectively.

Free Indiana Pacers vs. Orlando Magic NBA Prediction:
Undeniably, one team got out to a blistering season start while the other grew over the course of the year and they enter this match with an identical loss record and just a half-game separating them.
Indy has a much better offense while the Magic are the better defenders so this match will come down to which team is able to raise their level of play in their weaker discipline.
Although the Magic are at home, I’m rolling with the Pacers rising to the occasion.
