Toronto Sits in Fourth
The Toronto Raptors do not get a lot of hype around the league, but they are one of the top competitors in the Eastern Conference, as they currently sit fourth in the standings. They are coming off consecutive games against the 76ers, where the teams split the results with both games being played in Toronto. In their most recent game, Toronto had five players reach double figures, but no player was able to reach 20 points in the home loss.
Their top scorer on that night was Immanuel Quickley, the former New York Knick has become Toronto's starting point guard and is averaging 16.5 PPG and a team high 6.1 APG. Their top scorer on the season has been Brandon Ingram, the 6'8 forward has stayed healthy all season and is scoring 21.7 PPG to go with his 6.0 RPG. Ingram had 17 points and ten boards in their most recent loss against the 76ers. RJ Barrett is their next best scorer, but he will miss this game with an ankle injury, taking away a 19.6 PPG scorer.
Scottie Barnes may be the best all around player on the team, he is putting up a strong stat line of 19.3 PPG, 8.3 RPG and 5.3 APG. Collin Murray-Boyles has been starting as an undersized big adding 7.5 PPG in the middle. The Raptors rank 20th in offensive efficiency and 10th in defensive efficiency according to dunksandthrees.com. Toronto plays relatively slow, ranking 21st in the league in possessions per game.

Pacers Win Three Straight
The Indiana Pacers have not had a season to remember, but they come into this game with positive momentum as they won each of their last three games. The team has battled injuries all season, none more important than the torn Achilles that Tyrese Halibrton suffered in last year's NBA Finals. In their recent win streak, they grabbed wins over the Hornets on the road, then defeated the Heat and Celtics in Indiana. In the Celtics game, Pascal Siakam had 21 points and eight rebounds in the victory.
Siakam will be taking on his former team in this one, as he helped lead Toronto to an NBA Championship back when he teamed up with Kawhi Leonard. He almost pulled off a similar feat last year with the Pacers, but has a long way to go this season as the team sits at just 9-31 through their first 40 games. Siakam is averaging a team high 23.5 PPG and 6.8 RPG on the year. Bennedict Mathurin is a big time scorer on the wing, but is out again with an injury, as he will miss this game with a thumb issue. Andrew Nembhard is their next top scoring threat, he gets 17.5 PPG and 7.1 APG on the year.
Aaron Nesmith is a physical defender who can shoot from deep contributing another 14.2 PPG, while Jay Huff tries to dunk everything he can on the inside as a 7'1 center adding 8.4 PPG. Indiana is ranked 26th in offensive efficiency and 17th in defensive efficiency. The Pacers play faster than the Raptors, ranking 13th in the league in possessions per game.
Injury Report for Raptors vs. Pacers:
Raptors:
- Out: RJ Barrett, Jakob Poeltl, Ja'Kobe Walter
Pacers:

Raptors vs. Pacers Picks and Predictions
Spread pick for Raptors vs. Pacers
- Raptors to cover (5 units)
This is a great spot to fade Indiana, as they have won three straight games, but have proven they cannot keep that level of play up through the season. Indiana has only won nine of their 40 games this season, and just pulled a huge upset over Boston. This will be a let down spot, as they do not matchup well with the Raptors in this one. All of Toronto's talent is on the wing, and Indiana does not have enough perimeter defenders to slow down Ingram and Barnes when they are at full strength. The Raptors are 4th in the East, and Indiana should be getting more points here if not for their recent wins, take the value with Toronto.
Take the Raptors to cover.
Over/Under Pick for Raptors vs. Pacers
- Under 224.5
The Pacers have been cashing unders left and right, as they have gone under in six of their last seven games. Indiana will be willing to play slow here, as they found success with it when the beat Boston in their last game with neither team reaching 100 points in the game. Indiana often knows they are out-gunned, and will be here as well as Toronto has more reliable scorers. Indiana will slow this game down to try to keep it close. Toronto is only 21st in the league in possessions per game, so they will naturally play at a slow pace leading this game to stay under the number as RJ Barrett watches from the sidelines.
Take the under.
