Super Bowl Sunday matinee basketball. The Pacers (13-39) head to Toronto riding a three-game losing streak, facing a Raptors squad (31-22) that's finally finding its groove. We're 9-point underdogs, which honestly feels about right given where these two teams are.
Toronto's rolling with Scottie Barnes (19.3 PPG, 8.3 RPG) and Brandon Ingram (22.2 PPG) leading the way, and they just beat us 115-101 three weeks ago. They're 3-0 against us this season. The Raptors know how to handle us.
Seeing as we're 24th in points allowed (118.4 PPG), 27th in opponent rebounds (46.9 RPG), and we failed to find any grit against Utah or Milwaukee, facing a Raptors team that can score in bunches, appears to be a recipe for another L.
Just keep it competitive, fellas. That's all we ask.
