IND vs ORL Dream11: The NBA Season is in full flow and what a beginning to the season this has been. The Season has been full of surprises and we have seen a bunch of interesting teams stepping up their games. In this Regular Season game, the Orlando Magic is going to take on the Indiana Pacers to extend the season.
The Magic and the Pacers met just a few days ago and this will be the second meeting this season for them. The Magic comes into this game after losing 113:114 to the Pacers despite 29 points by Franz Wagner. The Pacers have had a much better start and their rebuild is going well so far this season, as Magic struggles.
Host: Indiana Pacers Visitors: Orlando Magic Match Timing: 22 November, @ 05:30 AM (+05:30 UTC) Venue: Gainbridge Fieldhouse
Pacers: They are on the right track
The Pacers are on a four-game winning streak and they have done a great job on both ends of the floor. Tyrese Haliburton has become an elite player, being one of the best playmakers and a strong performer on the scoring end. Rookie Benedict Mathurin has been in an amazing touch and what a difference-maker he has been. Buddy Hield is shooting much better and has become more than a scorer. Myles Turner is having a strong season whereas Jalen Smith is a prolific rebounder and fits well as a hustle player. The bench has been doing a decent job with Mathurin as a leader of the second unit.
Magic: Another tough season but a lot of promise
Paolo Banchero has been in a fantastic touch as a rookie and is an early candidate for the Rookie of the Year. He has been a brilliant scorer, and rebounder, and can become an All-Star player. Meanwhile, Franz Wagner can knock down the outside shot and is an all-around option. On the other hand, Wendell Carter Jr is a superb inside player whereas Bol Bol is an amazing athletic talent. Guard Cole Anthony has been off from the field whereas Jalen Suggs needs to develop more consistency, which means the guard combo has been not on the mark. Overall, the Magic is bereft of a working guard combination and that can be their next target.
Magic Expected Starting Five Forwards: PF: Chuma Okeke Wing: SF: Franz Wagner Middle: C: Wendell Carter Jr. | C: Bol Bol Guard: SG: Jalen Suggs
BENCH: Caleb Houstan, Terrence Ross, Mo Bamba, Kevon Harris, RJ Hampton, Admiral Schofield, Zavier Simpson.
