The Indiana Pacers look for another win to boost their postseason hopes. They are second in the Central Division and ninth overall in the Eastern Conference. The visitors are the Orlando Magic who have only won 18 matches this season and won't be having a postseason. Indiana have a 28-31 season record but are nine wins behind division leaders Milwaukee. A place in the play-ins is looking likely though with a three win lead over 11th placed Chicago Bulls. They had been on a run of three straight losses but have picked up a couple of wins in their last two games. Victories have come against Oklahoma and Detroit, both by six-point margins. Home form has seen them win only 11 home games (compared to 17 on the road) but they will be looking for a third straight win and should get it.

It's been a poor season for the Orlando Magic who are a clear bottom of the Southeast Division of the Eastern Conference. Only 18 of their 59 games this season have been won. On their travels, Orlando have an 8-21 season record. They have only the Detroit Pistons below them in the overall Eastern Conference table. Recent form has seen lose their last four matches. The most recent saw them lose by 35 points to the New Orleans Pelicans. Only one of their last five matches on the road have been won. Back the Pacers to win this match.
