The Orlando Magic, led by the versatile Paolo Banchero, boast an all-around forward who has already earned an All-Star selection and demonstrated clutch playmaking abilities. Banchero is a tough matchup in the half-court set, but efficiency and shot selection are areas for improvement. Franz Wagner provides skillful support with high basketball IQ. The Indiana Pacers feature Tyrese Haliburton, the league's leading assist man and a frequent contender in the MVP race. He excels at both facilitating and scoring, posing a significant threat from beyond the arc. Haliburton currently appears to be a more mature and dominant player than Banchero in terms of directly influencing the game. Both teams possess solid depth. The Magic's depth is evident in their defensive versatility and interior rotation, featuring players like Wendell Carter Jr. and Moritz Wagner. The Pacers' depth lies in their consistent offensive firepower, with scoring threats coming off the bench in the form of T.J. McConnell, Obi Toppin, and Benedict Mathurin. Indiana Pacers +4.5
