Randy’s Pick
The Toronto Raptors can’t string together 48 minutes of good basketball most nights, and I doubt that changes on the end of a back to back. The Indiana Pacers have been a scoring machine all year, and they’re fresh off a game that featured over 300 points. If the shot making continues, the Raptors are going to have a hard time keeping up. I’ll lay the reasonable number with the Pacers at home.
