Command Analysis

Indiana Pacers

Current form
Indiana is flying like a jet right now — six wins in a row, this is no joke. On April 11, they clashed at home with the leader of the East, Cleveland, and snatched victory in a real thriller — 114:112. The first, third and fourth quarters were theirs, and the second was just a slight misfire. Tyrese Haliburton was like the conductor of an orchestra — almost a triple-double (23 points, eight rebounds, ten assists), the guy was just giving out magic. Aaron Nesmith hit 22, Jarace Walker added 15, and Bennedikt Mathurin and Miles Turner scored 13 each. Rick Carlyle's team (49 wins, 31 losses) sits in fourth place in the East, with a playoff ticket in their pocket.
Disqualifications and injuries
The Pacers enter the match almost in full combat readiness. All the leaders are healthy, energized and ready to tear up the parquet. Only Ben Shippard, the guy from the bench, is still in the infirmary, but that's no reason to panic.
Interesting facts for betting
The Pacers will start the match with almost optimal lineups. All the leaders are healthy and eager to fight. The only player in the team's infirmary is Ben Shippard, the closest substitute.
Approximate composition: Tyrese Haliburton, Andrew Nembhard, Aaron Nesmith, Pascal Siakam, Miles Turner.

Orlando Magic

Current form
Orlando is also on the wave — four wins in a row, and it's not for nothing! On April 11, they rolled Boston 96:76 at home, and it was a real meat grinder. All four quarters are theirs, not a single chance for the opponent. Franz Wagner was on top — 23 points, eight rebounds, two assists, the guy played like he was filming a Hollywood blockbuster. Paolo Bankero added 15, Cole Anthony scored 18. Jamal Mosley's team (40 wins, 40 losses) is in seventh place in the East, with a playoff berth in their pocket.
Disqualifications and injuries
The Magic came to Indianapolis with problems in the lineup. Back in March, it became clear that Jaylen Suggs was out for the rest of the season because his knee had failed him. Moritz Wagner, the guy from the store, is also in the infirmary. And worst of all, the entire starting five is in doubt, as if fate is playing roulette.
Interesting facts for betting
Orlando has beaten Indiana 56 times in the regular season, and the Pacers have prevailed in 73 games.
Approximate composition: Cory Joseph, Kentavius Caldwell-Pope, Franz Wagner, Paolo Bankero, Wendell Carter.

1.87Tip and bets
Orlando is already in the play-in, relaxed and finishing the season as if on a beach. But Indiana is another matter: they are in the playoffs, fourth place is in their pocket, but they can still jump to third and get easier than their opponent in the first round. Magic has problems with the lineup — half of the leaders are in question, it's how to enter the ring with one hand. Bookmakers clearly see the favorite. The Pacers are at home, with the stands screaming themselves hoarse, and they have to put the guests on their backs. Carlisle and his guys will take this victory beautifully.
Our betting tip is that Indiana will win with a handicap of (-5.5) points, taking into account overtime in 1.76
Betting on an individual total
Indiana is throwing points like confetti this season: 118.1 per game on average, and even steeper at home — 119.9. In five of the last six meetings with Orlando, they have exceeded 115. And now, against the battered Magic squad, they will launch a real bombardment.
Our betting tip is that Indiana's individual total is over 115.5 points, including overtime in 2.03
The bet for the first quarter
Indiana has lost the first quarter in five of the last six games—it's like they're sleeping at the start. But now everything will be different. It's time to wake up, exploit the holes in Orlando's lineup, and take your toll from the first minute. Carlisle will set up the guys, and they will show who owns the parquet here.
Our prediction is that Indiana will win in the first quarter in 1.68
