Leading off from a virtuous – but fruitless – playoff series last season against the Chicago Bulls, the Indiana Pacers have come roaring back to begin the 2011-2012 NBA year.

But the Magic are a fearsome adversary that are 11-5 on the season at this point. And recent history is clearly on Orlando’s side. The Magic have defeated the Pacers in Indiana in every one of the last three meetings between the two.

Both organizations come into this game with a 7-3 record over their last ten contests. The Pacers have a 5-0 record at home right now, and the Magic are 5-3 away from home. Expect Orlando to make a surprisingly strong showing after their pitiful 87-56 blowout to the Boston Celtics a few days ago.
