Magic and Pacers Face Off In Seeding Game
The Orlando Magic takes on the Indiana Pacers in an NBA seeding game in Orlando on Tuesday evening.

The Magic (32-35) come into Tuesday's contest having gotten the restarted season playing out in their home city off to a great start. Orlando has won its first two seeding games to reinforce its hold on the No. 8 seed in the Eastern Conference, with its latest success coming at the expense of the Sacramento Kings by a 132-116 score on Sunday, a game in which forward Jonathan Isaac was lost for the season with a torn ACL. Terrence Ross led the Magic with 25 points, complementing them with two rebounds, one assist and one steal. Nikola Vucevic contributed a 23-point, 11-rebound double-double that also included two assists and two steals. Aaron Gordon supplied 22 points, five rebounds and three assists. Markelle Fultz poured in 14 points, while Michael Carter-Williams totaled 12 points, five boards, three assists, three steals and two blocks.

The Magic come into Tuesday's game without any short-term injuries to report.

The Pacers (41-26) enter Tuesday's matchup looking to close out their first back-to-back set of the restarted season in successful fashion. Indiana was victorious in its most recent time on the floor Monday, when it toppled the Washington Wizards by a 111-100 margin despite playing without Victor Oladipo (knee/rest). T.J. Warren led the Pacers with a 34-point, 11-rebound double-double that also included four assists, four blocks and three steals. Malcolm Brogdon returned from a one-game absence due to a neck injury and provided 20 points, seven rebounds, six assists, one steal and one block. Myles Turner and Aaron Holiday generated matching 17-point efforts, with Turner also pulling down nine rebounds.

The Pacers will continue without Domantas Sabonis (foot) for Tuesday's game. Goga Bitadze (knee) and Oladipo are likely to be game-time decisions.

Tuesday's game marks the third and final meeting between the teams this season. The Pacers hold a 2-0 series lead, having notched 109-102 and 111-106 wins on Nov. 10 and Nov. 23, respectively.
