Raptors vs Pacers Pickswise Expert Predictions

Point Spread Pick
IND Pacers +2.5(-110)

After an odd pair of games against the Philadelphia 76ers and a split, the Toronto Raptors now head to Indianapolis for a date with the suddenly hot Pacers. I say odd because Toronto won the first game without Brandon Ingram in the line-up, then proceeded to lose by double-digits when he returned on the 2nd night of that back-to-back. Once again he is on the injury report ahead of Wednesday’s game, but should be ready to play. More importantly for Toronto is the absence of RJ Barrett here. When he doesn’t play the offensive rating is at 107.9, compared to 120.6 when he play. Their record also reflects his availability, the Raptors are just 8-10 SU without Barrett and 16-7 SU with him.

Don’t look now, but the Indiana Pacers have just connected 3 wins in a row and are currently on their longest win streak of the season. It took them almost 3 months to achieve this feat, can we say they are finally out of the woods in terms of injuries? Well, not quite. Tyrese Haliburton isn’t coming back, plus Mathurin, Jackson and Obi Toppin all remain out of the line-up. A play-in tournament is probably out of reach, but the Pacers are still playing with a lot of pride and this recent run shows us that they haven’t completely given up on this season.

In two meetings this season Toronto recorded two wins, but the last time these two met only 2 points separated them. After that lackluster performance against Philly I am not sure I am able to trust the Raptors here. Indiana has finally found some stability, especially at the point guard position which has helped steady the ship a little. I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt and back them to cover at home.

Raptors vs Pacers prediction: Pacers +2.5 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
