Tonight's Game: Pacers @ Magic


Magic (43-24) vs Pacers (24-40)

7 PM
Amway Arena
FSN FL

Probable Lineups:
Howard C Foster
Lewis PF Murphy
Turkoglu SF Dunleavy
Evans SG Granger
Nelson PG Diener


Danny Granger has averaged 20ppg in the month of March and 18.4ppg on the season. He is a matchup problem waiting to happen at around 6'8". Next to him is Mike Dunleavy, who has averaged very similar stats: 20.5ppg this month and 18.2ppg this season.

This is the first return of former Magic benchwarmer (and basketball God to some), Travis Diener. We lost to the Pacers earlier this season, but it was in Indiana. Diener is only averaging 7 points and 3 assists, but has had some nice games this season.

The Pacers routinely score about 103ppg and we average giving up 100.1ppg a night. So they score more than we normally give up. We better watch out because they have the potential to score a lot, just like us. And after last night's scare, they better be on their toes.
