The Indiana Pacers and Orlando Magic are already on track to be legitimate rivals in the Eastern Conference.
With the East looking to be wide-open for the foreseeable future, many are predicting who its next best team will be. While it could still be the Pacers in the long run, they are in far from an ideal situation next season. However, one team that is moving on up is Orlando, who will be a team to monitor in the conference.
What makes the Magic so interesting is that, not only have they gradually improved over the past couple of seasons, but they are almost like an inverse version of the Pacers.
