Season series: Toronto leads 1-0

The Pacers were upset by the Charlotte Hornets 111-102 Monday thanks to their poor 3-point performance, making just 26.7% of their attempts. Indiana was a 10-point road favorite in the loss.

Pacers at Raptors picks and predictions
Prediction
Pacers 122, Raptors 110
Moneyline
The Raptors, unlike most teams, don't carry much of an advantage at home. They are 11-15 at home, including 3-8 as home underdogs.
After 3 games in a row with less than 20 points, this is a perfect get-right spot (and revenge game) for the Pacers' Siakam. Indiana should win, but with a ML price of -196, there isn't much value.
PASS and look to the spread.
Against the spread
Against the spread the Raptors are not much better than picking them on the moneyline. Their ATS home record is the same as their ML record (11-15), and they are 4-7 ATS as home underdogs.
Plus, after a loss, the Pacers are 14-9-2 ATS, while Toronto is just 16-18.
BET PACERS -5 (-110).
Over/Under
Trends heavily favor the Under. The Raptors have hit the Under in 8 of their 11 games as home dogs. The Pacers on the flip side are 5-2-1 toward the Under as road favorites.
Plus, both teams have hit the Under in 3 straight games. This should be the 4th. BET UNDER 244.5 (-108).
