Magic vs. Pacers: Orlando opens back-to-back

The Orlando Magic host the Indiana Pacers on Sunday in a matchup of two struggling teams: Orlando has dropped 10 of its last 12, while Indiana's seven-game skid has it only a half-game in front of the Magic.

Tipoff between Orlando and Indiana is set for 6:00 PM. Fox Sports Florida and ESPN 580 AM will offer live coverage in the Orlando market.

Orlando's last time out: The Magic battled the New York Knicks to a near-standstill Sunday, but a pair of players on 10-day contracts helped the Knicks gain separation in the closing moments. Langston Galloway and Lance Thomas keyed a New York rally after the Magic took a late two-point lead, sending Orlando to its fourth straight loss. Orlando center Nikola Vučević excelled against the Knicks' patchwork front line, tying a career high with 34 points to go with 18 boards.

Indiana's last time out: The Pacers fought back against the Miami Heat after finding themselves in a 17-point hole Friday, only to fall in the end when C.J. Watson's game-tying try at the buzzer missed the mark. Luis Scola scored 14 points with seven boards off the Pacers' bench, while David West added 12 points and nine rebounds.

The last meeting: The Pacers bullied the Magic in the painted area as they took a 98-83 victory in Indianapolis. The home team held a 53-32 edge in rebounding while getting a 24-point outing from veteran guard Rodney Stuckey. Vučević led Orlando with 16 points and seven rebounds, while Tobias Harris and Victor Oladipo added 14 points apiece in the rout.
