Raptors at Pacers picks and predictions
Prediction
Raptors 120, Pacers 115
Moneyline
BET RAPTORS (+102).
Toronto is a well-coached team that has played well coming off of losses this season. While Indiana has been hot ATS lately, it’s being slightly overvalued in this spot by the market. The Raptors are the better team, even without Siakam, and should bounce back Saturday coming off of an uncharacteristic loss at the Thunder.
Against the spread
PASS.
There is no need to buy the extra 1.5 points on the Raptors. Toronto should win straight up after an embarrassing loss at Oklahoma City.
Over/Under
BET OVER 230.5 (-105).
The Over is 4-0 in Toronto’s last 4 games after failing to cover the spread in its previous game. Expect the extra focused Raptors to put up a lot of points vs. an Indiana team that is 25th in defensive efficiency. The Over should hit Saturday for the 3rd consecutive game for both teams.
