Through 3 Quarters

The Orlando Magic are giving their home crowd exactly what it was hoping to see. After three quarters it's looking more and more like their high-powered offense is just too much for the Indiana Pacers as Orlando lead 91-76.

The Magic have been riding high on the performance of small forward Franz Wagner, who has 24 points in addition to five boards. The top scorers for Indiana have been point guard Malcolm Brogdon (15 points), power forward Isaiah Jackson (14 points), and center Jalen Smith (13 points). Isaiah Jackson does need to be careful, however, as he is in foul trouble with four.

the Pacers have lost 88% of the time when they were down heading into the fourth quarter this year, so this one seems just about wrapped up

What to Know

The Orlando Magic's homestand continues as they prepare to take on the Indiana Pacers at 7 p.m. ET March 2 at Amway Center. Orlando is out to stop a six-game streak of losses at home.

Indiana is out to make up for these teams' game on Monday. The Magic had enough points to win and then some against Indiana, taking their matchup 119-103. Power forward Wendell Carter Jr. (21 points) was the top scorer for Orlando. That makes it five consecutive games in which Wendell Carter Jr. has had at least ten rebounds.

Orlando's win brought them up to 15-47 while the Pacers' defeat pulled them down to 21-42. A couple stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Magic have only been able to knock down 43.50% percent of their shots, which is the fourth lowest field goal percentage in the league. Indiana has experienced some struggles of their own as they have allowed their opponents to shoot 47.20% from the floor on average, which is the fifth highest shooting percentage allowed in the league. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
