Pascal Siakam and Bennedict Mathurin are doing their best to carry the scoring load. Siakam averages 24.8 points per game, while Mathurin adds 24.3 points. However, the team ranks low in field goal percentage, making it hard to compete.
The Pacers face challenges on both ends, allowing 122.8 points per game. They excel at generating steals, ranking second in the league. With injuries plaguing the roster, the Pacers need their remaining players to step up.

The Raptors have been strong offensively this season. They average 120.4 points per game, ranking 6th in the league. Their field goal percentage stands at 50.2%, placing them 3rd overall.
Defensively, the Raptors allow 113.4 points per game, which ranks 7th. They also rank 4th in limiting opponents’ three-point percentage to 32.1%. However, they need to improve their free throw defense, as they rank 28th in free throw percentage allowed at 81.3%.
Betting Prediction
The Raptors score 120.4 points per game, which is sixth in the league. They also have a strong field goal percentage of 50.2, ranking third. The Pacers, on the other hand, allow 122.8 points per game, which is one of the highest in the league.
The Pacers struggle with their shooting, ranking last in field goal percentage at 41.5. Meanwhile, the Raptors have a solid defense, allowing just 113.4 points per game. This difference in performance makes it hard for the Pacers to keep up with the Raptors.
Toronto has a good record in both scoring and defense. The Pacers’ weak defense and poor shooting make it likely the Raptors can cover the spread. Taking the Raptors -10.5 is a strong choice based on these stats.
- Pick: Raptors -10.5
