The Orlando Magic (6-6) host the Indiana Pacers (5-5) at the Kia Center on November 13 at 7:10 pm ET. The Magic aim to extend their perfect home record to 6-0, despite missing Paolo Banchero for the eighth consecutive game.

The Magic enter as 1.5-point favorites (-115 moneyline), while the Pacers are slight underdogs (-105). The total is set at 223.5 points.

Orlando rides a three-game winning streak, recently dominating the Pelicans (115-88), Wizards (121-94), and Hornets (114-89). Franz Wagner leads the team, averaging 20.9 PPG and has topped the scoring charts in six games this season.

The Pacers have won three of their last four but struggle on the road, winning just one of their last four away games. Their last road appearance resulted in a 103-83 loss to Charlotte.

Key Player Props:

• Franz Wagner: 25.5 points (O/U)
• Pascal Siakam: 21.5 points (O/U)
• Myles Turner: 8.5 rebounds (O/U)
• Tyrese Haliburton: 9.5 assists (O/U)

Game Predictions:

• Pacers moneyline (-105): Indiana's potent offense should capitalize on Banchero's absence
• Wagner over 25.5 points (-115): Increased usage and Indiana's fast pace favor a high-scoring performance

The Magic previously defeated the Pacers 119-115 at home, but that victory required a 50-point performance from Banchero. Without their star player, Orlando faces a tougher challenge against a healthy Indiana squad seeking revenge.
