Indiana Pacers at Toronto Raptors Pick

As we have stated previously, when you back the Raptors in the Air Canada Centre there is likely a premium to do so. When you add in the fact that Toronto continues to win at home and now sits at 7-1 SU this is almost a certitude. The Pacers have two key advantages that can not only foster a cover but perhaps orchestrate an upset: turnovers and rebounding. The Pacers are known for a more rugged brand of basketball and as a result they produce on average 1.2 more boards per game. This is vital in creating second chances and when turnovers are thrown into the mix, Toronto may have a tough time putting them away. Take the points.
