The Indiana Pacers have experienced a dip in form recently, managing only one win in their last 10 games. Their offensive performance has been subpar, averaging just 106.7 points per game, and they've struggled defensively against strong opponents. Examining their first-half performance reveals a low rebounding efficiency and a significant weakness in their frontcourt, while opponents often exploit this with fast breaks. Currently positioned towards the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings, the team's morale and competitiveness have suffered. Their away record is particularly concerning, with a five-game losing streak and an average points difference exceeding 13 points, exposing defensive vulnerabilities. Orlando Magic, holding a 18-15 record, sits fifth in the Eastern Conference, with a recent record of four wins and six losses in their last 10 games, and a 7-9 away record. Paolo Banchero had a triple-double in the last game, and Wendell Carter Jr. has consistently scored over 19 points recently. For the Pacers, Tyrese Haliburton is out for the season due to injury, with the absences of Oshae Brissett and Obi Toppin; T.J. McConnell is likely to play. The Magic will miss Franz Wagner and Mo Wagner. Jalen Suggs, Cole Anthony and Jonathan Isaac are questionable, potentially affecting their interior defense and outside shooting.
