Mon Oct 28 22:40:00 UTC 2024: ## Pacers Look to Bounce Back Against Magic in Monday Night Matchup
The Indiana Pacers, currently sitting at 1-2, will attempt to right the ship on Monday night as they face off against the Orlando Magic (2-1) at the Kia Center. The game, which tips off at 7 p.m. ET, will see the Pacers, who are healthier and better rested, looking to overcome the Magic’s slight advantage as -5.5 point favorites.
The Magic, fresh off a Sunday night loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, will be playing the second night of a back-to-back. Despite the disadvantage, Orlando boasts a potent offensive threat in Paolo Banchero, whose over/under points total sits at 24. Meanwhile, the Pacers are hoping for a strong performance from Pascal Siakam, whose over/under is set at 18.5 points.
Despite the Magic’s edge, the Pacers are confident in their ability to secure a win and reach a .500 record. However, the Pacers are still grappling with the lingering effects of Tyrese Haliburton’s left hamstring injury, which hampered his performance during the playoffs and the Olympics.
