NBA gamblers won’t have a tough time at all in picking the winner of this series, with the Orlando Magic (37-29 SU, 34-32 ATS, 33-31-2 O/U) falling completely apart late this season after losing all-star center Dwight Howard to a back injury. Even if Howard were available for this series, the dysfunctional Magic have some very serious problems and will be facing a really good Indiana Pacers (42-24 SU, 32-34 ATS, 34-30-2 O/U) team that hits the postseason having won eight of its L/10 games.

Orlando went 17-16 ATS at home this season and 18-13-2 ATS on the road while averaging just 94.2 points per game (21st) and allowing 93.4 per game defensively (seventh).

With Howard out for the remainder of the postseason, the Magic are led in scoring by forward Ryan Anderson (16.1 ppg). Four other players also averaged double figures for Orlando.

The Pacers went 15-16 ATS at home this season and a solid 17-16 ATS mark on the road while averaging 97.7 points per game this season (13th) and allowing just 94.4 points per game defensively (10th). Indiana put the clamps on its opponents in forcing them into 43.5 percent shooting from the field (6th). The Pacers had five players average double figures in scoring, led by Danny Granger’s 18.7 points per contest.
