Toronto Raptors vs Indiana Pacers Prediction
The Indiana Pacers should get the benefit of the doubt because they are the better, healthier team. However, the Pacers have had issues stringing wins together, and they’re on the end of a back-to-back. The Toronto Raptors are banged up and not winning games, but they’re 9-5 ATS on the season. Five of the Raptors’ last 9 losses have been decided by 5 or fewer points. The Raptors are playing hard and could easily be sitting in a better position, even with all of their banged-up bodies. I’ll keep riding with the Raptors and the points.
