The Indiana Pacers will travel to Orlando, Florida to face the Orlando Magic at the Kia Center with the game scheduled to start at 6:00 PM ET on Sunday evening and will air on Bally Sports Florida and Bally Sports Indiana.

The Indiana Pacers enter this game with a record of 35-29 which puts them in 8^th place in the Eastern Conference, however, the Pacers have lost three of their last four games including a 111-113 loss at home against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday. The success of the Pacers this season can be attributed to their offensive play as they rank 1^st in the NBA in scoring with an average of 123.06 points per game. However, Indiana plays at a faster pace than the average team in the league which also leaves them vulnerable defensively and the Pacers enter this game allowing the 3^rd most points per game in the NBA with an average of 121.85 points allowed per game. 

Tyrese Haliburton has played a pivotal role in the success the Pacers have had this season and enters this game leading the team in scoring, assists, and steals with an average of 20.8 points, 11.4 assists, and 1.06 steals per game while leading the NBA in assists this season. 

The Indiana Pacers will look to avoid their 4^th loss in their last five games when they travel to face the Orlando Magic.

The Orlando Magic enter this game in 5^th place in the Eastern Conference with a record of 37-27, however, the Magic are coming off a 74-98 loss on the road against the New York Knicks on Friday which also ended their five-game winning streak. Orlando has been one of the best teams defensively this season as they are allowing the 3^rd fewest points per game with an average of 109.54 points allowed per game. 

Offensively, the Magic have been one of the lower-scoring teams in the league as they rank 26^th in scoring in the NBA with an average of 111.44 points per game.
