This could be a short series as Orlando has been simply dreadful in the last month. They’ve lost four of their last five and four of their six games went Over. They face a Pacers team led by Danny Granger, that is hungry to prove themselves. They average 97.7 points per game and are playing a team that is without their best player in Dwight Howard, who is out for the year with back injury. Orlando allows 93.4 points pe rgame and is much worse defensively without Howard, especially in the paint.

Orlando should put up points by firing three-pointers and hanging in the game.
