Coming off of a hard-fought – but losing – playoff series in 2011 against number one Chicago Bulls, the Indiana Pacers came roaring back to begin the 2011-2012 NBA year.

Both organizations come into this matchup with a 7-3 record over their last ten contests. The Pacers have a 5-0 record at home so far, and the Magic are 5-3 on the road. Look for Orlando to make a surprisingly strong start after their disastrous 87-56 loss to the Boston Celtics a few days ago.
