Indiana Pacers vs Toronto Raptors prediction
The Indiana Pacers have been hit or miss these last couple of weeks, and there’s a chance they could be without Haliburton for this contest. The Toronto Raptors are the healthier teams, and they’re at home, where 11 of their 19 wins this season have come. The Raptors beat the Pacers back in November and while they’ve had issues, we can’t ignore that the Pacers just lost to the Hornets, possibly the worst team in the league. Don’t love this game, but if forced to pick, give me the Raptors and the points.
