Raptors Game Tonight: Raptors vs Pacers Odds, Starting Lineup ... (Raptors Rapture)

The latest Toronto Raptors odds don't seem very optimistic of the club's chances to take down Tyrese Haliburton and the Indiana Pacers.

Monday’s game will be broadcast at 7:00 p.m. The Raptors ended the year with some positive momentum, beating an excellent Suns team. Precious Achiuwa and Fred VanVleet are both listed as questionable, while Otto Porter Jr. Indiana is -112 on the moneyline, while Toronto checks in at -104. Will Indiana be unmoved by Toronto’s offensive pieces and once again be able to snipe them to death from 3-point range in a home victory? Not only do they have enough size in the paint to give them some real problems, but a collection of shooters and solid bench play led by Bennedict Mathurin could be hard for his beat-up roster to overcome.

NBA odds, picks, and predictions for the Toronto Raptors at Indiana Pacers on January 2. NBA betting best bet and free pick analysis.

They usually play an aggressive and smart defense and the offense can go cold at the best of times. And while I don’t love the play as much at the current number, I would still lean toward the Over. The Pacers shoot the ball well and are a well-coached team. I’d lean toward the Pacers here. The Pacers rank 21st in defensive rating and 24th when it comes to points allowed to opposing forwards per game. Mix in the fact Raptors’ point guard Fred VanVleet is still questionable with a back injury and Pascal could be expected to do even more for the Raptors. The offense that can run cold at the best of times has been bad. The All-NBA forward is doing his best to keep the Raptors afloat. In one game the Raps look like a team that can compete with any contender in the East. And the defense that the team has relied on has lacked the effort and performance we're used to. Honestly, it feels like an exercise in futility at this point in the NBA season. Try and predict what the Toronto Raptors will do next.

A red-hot Indiana Pacers squad welcomes the Toronto Raptors to Gainbridge Fieldhouse tonight for their second meeting of the season.

That includes nine of his past 13, a span in which he’s shooting above the 50-40-90 threshold. Haliburton over 19.5 points (-113): This has been a great number to bet the over on for Haliburton this year, as he’s cleared it in 21 of 35 games (60%). If we’ve got any college hoops fans out there, you might remember Hield’s nuclear season with the Oklahoma Sooners. The power forward has scored 25 or more points in seven consecutive games, averaging 32.9 points in that span. A pretty hefty volume of 3-point attempts is required to make this a likely outcome, but with the way Hield is heaving ‘em right now, there’s no reason to hold back. Hield is on an insane deep-shooting stretch right now, canning four or more threes in seven of his past eight games.
