Orlando has scored at least 115 points in 5 of its last 9 contests, so it should score enough to win and cover here.<\/p>\n<p>Take MAGIC -3.5 (-115).<\/p>\n<p>BET OVER 225.5 (-110).<\/p>\n<p>The Pacers like to play at a fast tempo and have provided little defense as of late. They have gone Over in 3 straight games, allowing at least 126 points in each of those, while also scoring at least 116 in each as well.<\/p>\n<p>Orlando has allowed at least 106 points in 10 straight games and has given up at least 120 points in 5 of those contests.
