Raptors VS Pacers Picks

In tonight’s matchup, both teams are desperately looking to keep themselves from beginning a losing streak that could see themselves being pushed out of the playoff picture in the competitive Eastern Conference.

Entering into the back half of a back-to-back, the Raptors looked like a shell of themselves last night against the Thunder, being bludgeoned inside and struggling to find reliable minutes from their bench. Down on the scoreboard virtually the entire matchup, this is the first real spot of adversity the Raptors have faced this season as their frontcourt rotation is severely limited.

On the side of the Pacers, they have shown they aren’t just going to rollover and tank this season. With spectacular play from Tyrese Haliburton, as well as other members of the squad such as Myles Turner and Buddy Hield, the Pacers have shown they could develop into a potential playoff team if things bounce the right way.

With both teams looking for a much-needed win, get all the best bets in what is sure to be an intense matchup on Saturday Night.

Moneyline/Point Spread Pick: Indiana Pacers (ML/-2)

If the both sides were fully healthy, this would be the Raptors game to lose. Unfortunately for them however, without several key members of their frontcourt rotation, the Raps are more than likely to take another beating on the road in tonight’s showdown with the Pacers.

While the Pacers certainly haven’t looked like world-beaters this season, they have several veteran players with tremendous skill that could see them within reach of winning any matchup. One of the biggest strengths of this Pacers team comes from their interior presence on both ends of the court.

Featuring players like Myles Turner, Jalen Smith, and Goga Bitadze on their roster, the Pacers excel at crashing along the glass, backing down opponents, and using their superior size to control the pace of the game. The Pacers bigs are also solid passers, allowing them to draw attention on the block, only to kick it out to one of several knockdown shooters along the perimeter.

Without their top big men the Raptors are set to have another night struggling to keep up with their opponents. It would take a career-night from multiple Raptors perimeter players to get the job done against a tough Pacers team.

Back the Pacers to win tonight’s matchup against the Raptors, securing victory on their homecourt and covering a small two-point spread in the process.

Over/Under Pick: Over 229.5 Total Points

As the Raptors are likely to be bullied down-low in tonight’s contest, look for their defence to struggle against the Pacers size and strength, allowing for another high-scoring outing for their opposition. The Raptors will likely be forced into living and dying by the three-pointer, a risky but necessary strategy given their current circumstance.

With the Raptors looking to utilize their speed and outside shooting ability to stay within striking distance of this matchup, the scoreboard will continue ticking upwards throughout the contest. This will finish with a large combined point total before all is said and done, making the Over an attractive wager.

Don’t expect to see much defence being played from either side, as each team goes punch-for-punch with each other in an Indiana shootout. Bet the Over on the Raptors VS Pacers matchup tonight.

Fred VanVleet First Basket Scorer

Since losing Pascal Siakam to injury, in the four games he has been sidelined Fred VanVleet has taken or made the first shot of the game in three out of four of their last matchups. With Steady Freddy an obvious focal point of the Raptors offence early on into games, at fantastic value, bet on VanVleet to open the scoring against the Pacers.

VanVleet is skilled offensive player, able to score at all three-levels. With one of the best outside shooting strokes in the NBA as well as a crafty finisher on the inside, look for VanVleet to get his name on the scorers sheet first against the Pacers.

Myles Turner Over 15.5 Points

The current longest-tenured Pacers player, look for Myles Turner to control the paint and score well over 15.5 points against the Raptors. A versatile big man, Turner is not only a force within the key, he is more than comfortable playing along the outside, stretching the floor and making defences pay with a silky smooth jumpshot.

With the Raptors defence susceptible to scoring at the rim, look for the Pacers to play through their big man and find Turner for easy looks at the basket as he looks to continue his strong start to the NBA season.
