Raptors vs. Pacers Prediction

The Raptors had a tough December, enduring a five-game losing skid and going 1-2 in their last three games. Their Suns win seemed to be as much about the Phoenix outfit having a clear off-night as it did the Raptors putting on a solid performance.

While the likes of Gary Trent Jr. and Pascal Siakam are putting in good work on the offensive end of the court, it hasn't been enough to save the team's general inconsistency. On defense, meanwhile, the team have struggled with rebounding but have shown commendable skill in turnovers.

The Pacers, meanwhile, have a lot of momentum at the moment, with the likes of Tyrese Haliburton and Myles Turner leading the offensive charge. They've had mixed results at home this season but are the superior offensive team. Their point-scoring wizardry this season should be enough to best the Raptors.

Prediction: Pacers -2.5 (-110)
