Pacers playing well

NBA Betting Trends

Toronto

The Raptors are 1-8 against the spread in their last nine road games and 4-10 ATS in their last 14 conference games.

Indiana

The Pacers are 5-2 against the spread in their last seven home games and 7-2 ATS in their last nine games playing on two days of rest.

Prediction:

The Raptors definitely aren’t the same team without Leonard and he will sit out tonight. Indiana has a great defense that will give Toronto a lot of problems, as they have fewer scoring options to work with. Toronto also should have some tired legs after playing last night. The Raptors were in a competitive game until slowly pulling away in the second half. Indiana is well rested and should be able to take advantage at home.

NBA Prediction: Indiana Pacers -2.5
