What to Know

This Saturday, the Indiana Pacers are hoping to patch up the holes in a defense that has allowed an average of 118.36 points per game. They will take on the Toronto Raptors at 7 p.m. ET Saturday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse after having had a few days off. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they’ll have plenty of motivation to get the ‘W.’

Indiana was close but no cigar on Wednesday as they fell 122-119 to the Denver Nuggets. The Pacers were up 70-56 at the end of the half but couldn’t hold on to the lead. Indiana’s defeat came about despite a quality game from point guard Tyrese Haliburton, who dropped a double-double on 21 points and 11 dimes.

Meanwhile, Toronto lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder on the road by a decisive 132-113 margin. Toronto was down 106-85 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from. A silver lining for them was the play of center Chris Boucher, who posted a double-double on 20 points and 12 rebounds.

Barring any buzzer beaters, Indiana is expected to win a tight contest. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread as they are currently on a six-game streak of ATS wins.

Indiana took a serious blow against the Raptors when the two teams previously met in March, falling 131-91. Maybe the Pacers will have more luck at home instead of on the road? Watch the matchup and check back on CBS Sports for all the details.
