The Toronto Raptors have historically had the Indiana Pacers’ number and will be looking to continue their hot play Monday at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. The Raps have gone 6-2 SU and have covered the closing spread in each of their last eight meetings with Indiana.
The Pacers are coming off a forgettable stretch that saw them lose four of their last five games. Indy has failed to parlay a strong November into December thanks largely in part to a total collapse on the defensive end of the floor. Indiana is allowing an average of 123.5 points in their last four defeats, which came at the hands of the Pistons, Warriors, Jazz and Trail Blazers.
Raptors’ small forward DeMarre Carroll is expected to miss his fifth straight contest with a knee injury, but the Dinos have fared well in his absence, going 4-1 SU during that span.
