Magic vs. Pacers GAMEDAY Preview: How to Watch, Betting Odds, Injury Report /

In this story:

ORLANDO - The Orlando Magic is back in action tonight when it faces the Indiana Pacers.

Orlando has lost four straight games, its longest losing streak of the season, but there is hope when the team visits Indiana. The Magic beat the Pacers once this season on the road, a 128-116 win on Nov. 19.

The Pacers could also be playing this game without point guard Tyrese Haliburton, who is questionable to play with an ankle injury. The Magic could be without Jalen Suggs, who sat Thursday's game with a wrist injury he suffered a week ago against the Boston Celtics.
