Orlando Magic
The Magic may have won two of their last three, but they’re coming off a 120-101 loss to the Charlotte Hornets.
On the year, Orlando is posting 98.8 points per contest. That number is only good enough for 26th in the entire NBA.
Defensively, the Magic are allowing opponents to score 103 points per game. Not too shabby, as that number is good enough for 12th in the Association.

On Sunday, Orlando will be going up against a team that has a tendency to struggle on both sides of the ball.
This is why defense is going to be the primary objective.
We know that the Magic have issues on offense, but in their last loss, they gave up too many easy buckets to allow the Hornets to score 120 points.
Taking care of the basketball is the easiest way to avoid giving up cheap points on the other end.
Look at how well Orlando is able to control the ball (and control the pace) as an indicator of how well both they and the Pacers are playing Sunday.

The bad news for Indy is that it enters Sunday’s contest with the Magic having lost four of their last five (as well as six of their last nine.
The good news is that is has a slight bit of momentum on its side. It is coming off a 111-101 victory over the Chicago Bulls.
Question the validity of a victory over a confused Bulls team if you want (Rajon Rondo was benched in the second half of that game, and the team as a whole is trying to figure out who can help them spread the floor), but a win is a win.
Indy has home-court advantage.
