Toronto Raptors at Indiana Pacers odds, picks and predictions

Ryan Dodson | Staff Writer

The Toronto Raptors(21-36) take on the Indiana Pacers (33-25) Monday with tip-off from Gainbridge Fieldhouse set for 7 p.m. ET (NBA TV). Let's analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's lines around the Raptors vs. Pacers odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Tied 1-1

The Raptors are consistently inconsistent. They have traded 3-game losing streaks with 2-game winning streaks over the last 10 games. They are on the 2-game winning streak end of the spectrum right now after a 123-121 victory over the Atlanta Hawks Friday as 7.5-point underdogs. F Scottie Barnes had 20 points and 10 assists.

The Pacers are just 9-8 since acquiring F Pascal Siakam from the Raptors, but they are winners of 3 straight and 4 of 5. They thumped the Dallas Mavericks 133-111 Sunday as 2-point dogs. Siakam's scoring is down just a tick from 22.2 PPG to 20.8, but his 3-point shooting is leaps-and-bounds better at 42%, which would be a career high.

Raptors at Pacers and predictions

Prediction

Pacers 128, Raptors 124

Moneyline

The Raptors beat the Pacers in their building back in November, and they covered in a 127-125 loss Feb. 14 without Siakam. So it's a little befuddling to see them as such underdogs in this one. I'm not going to pick them outright, but this matchup is a lot closer than the odds suggest.

I look for Barnes to come out and put on a show as the team has put its stock in him to guide them. He had 29 against the Pacers Feb. 14. I'll take SCOTTIE BARNES OVER 20.5 POINTS (-115).

Against the spread

As mentioned, the Raps covered as 2.5-point underdogs at home against the Pacers 12 days ago, and they just beat the Hawks on the road as 7.5-point underdogs. The Pacers can definitely bring it offensively, but they're on the back end of a back-to-back, and the Raptors will be extra motivated against their former teammate.

Take the RAPTORS +6.5 (-115).

Over/Under

Indiana is just 3-7 O/U over its last 10, and Toronto is 5-5. The Over is 2-0 in the 2 matchups this season, and it has cashed in the last 4. Again, Toronto is rested and will be motivated to push the pace against Siakam and his new mates.

LEAN OVER 245.5 (-105).
