Indiana Pacers at Toronto Raptors odds, picks and prediction

Toronto #Toronto

The Indiana Pacers (33-38) and Toronto Raptors (27-44) wrap up the regular season Sunday at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Fla. Tip-off is set for 1 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Pacers vs. Raptors odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

The Pacers are in a three-way tie for eighth place with the Charlotte Hornets and Washington Wizards heading into the final day, each posting a record of 33-38. So, a win in this game makes a difference for Indiana.

Indiana has posted a respectable 20-15 record on the road this season, including a win in its last road game, a 111-102 victory at the Cleveland Cavaliers Monday. Indiana is also  5-2-1 against the spread (ATS) across the past eight away from home.

The Raptors have long since been eliminated from postseason contention, and they won’t be terribly interested in a win here. In fact, they have dropped six straight, and nine of the past 10, while going just 1-3-1 ATS across the previous five.

    Pacers at Raptors: Odds, lines, predictions and picks Prediction

    Pacers 118, Raptors 99

    Money line (ML)

    The Pacers (-300) have something to play for and should come on like a ball of fire. Still, there is a lot of risk on the money line, especially for a road team, with not much reward. Look to the spread instead.

    AVOID.

    Against the spread (ATS)

    The PACERS -7 (-110) are heavy road favorites on the road, and that’s because they’re still jockeying for play-in seeding, while the Raptors are already scheduling tee times. Look for Indiana to play with authority, hammering a disinterested Toronto squad.

    Over/Under (O/U)

    UNDER 229.5 (-110) is the play as the Raptors will have a G-League looking roster with several regulars sitting either due to injuries or rest. The Pacers will likely call off the dogs once they’ve built a sizeable lead, too, and that is exactly what is expected.
