Toronto Raptors vs Indiana Pacers: Prediction and Betting Tips

Possible line-ups for the match:

Toronto Raptors:
G – Fred VanVleet; G – Gary Trent Jr.; F – OG Anunoby; F – Scottie Barnes; C – Precious Achiuwa.
Indiana Pacers:
G – Malcolm Brogdon; G – Chris Duarte; F – Justin Holiday; F – Domantas Sabonis; C – Myles Turner.

Toronto Raptors:

Nick Nurse is trying to create a new team, but so far he is not succeeding. Kyle Lowry is gone. The Toronto Raptors lost 3 of 4 games because of this, losing to Washington (83-98), Dallas (95-103), and Chicago (108-111). The only victory for the Raptors came against Boston (115-83).

It’s worth noting that the Canadians continue to play without Pascal Siakam. The Cameroonian is missed, as he is one of the leaders. But he is being successfully replaced by Scott Barnes.

Indiana Pacers:

Indiana is looking pretty good at the start of the season, but the Pacers have been unlucky somewhere. They lost to Charlotte and Washington by one point. They lost to Milwaukee 109-119. The Pacers’ only win came against Miami, a 102-91 win over the Heat.

A coach’s change hasn’t brought the desired success so far. But Rick Carlyle is new to the team. He needs time, so Indiana fans need to be patient.

Toronto Raptors vs Indiana Pacers statistics:

In the 2020-21 regular season, the home team had 88.7 shots on average, while the visitors were in the top 3 with 91.2. However, Toronto have taken more shots off the ball in four of their last five head-to-head games. 

Achiuwa has 11.3 rebounds on average this season.

The Pacers have won 3 of their last 4 games in the first quarter.

Toronto Raptors vs Indiana Pacers Tips:

The Indiana Pacers, of course, are stronger than the Toronto Raptors and must beat the Canadian team.  The Pacers’ game is interesting enough. It should turn into wins. Perhaps it will happen now.

Our first prediction and bet is the Pacers’ win with the odds of 1.97.

Toronto couldn’t show a successful offensive game. The Canadians are lacking Siakam, which is why they haven’t broken the 222.5-point mark in their last four games. That’s unlikely to happen today either.

Our second prediction is total match points under 217.5  with the odds of 1.69 with the VBet bookmaker.
