The Toronto Raptors are sliding right now, as Nick Nurse’s offense has ground to a halt while their defense remains just a bit inconsistent right now. The latest Raptors odds have given them basically a 50/50 chance of reversing that trend against a team with plenty of offensive firepower.

The squad will take on an Indiana Pacers team with more talent than their 1-3 record. Domantas Sabonis and Myles Turner are great inside, Malcolm Brogdon and Chris Duarte are a quality backcourt team, and Caris LeVert might be returning to action after some injury woes.

Toronto will be stretched to breaking point on the defensive end, and with one of the best rim protectors in the entire game roaming the paint in Turner, an offense that has gone cold from the 3-point line needs to find themselves in a hurry.

Will the Raptors end up breaking their slide and using their swarming defense to quell Indiana? Or will the Pacers ride a dominant frontcourt to a win and condemn Toronto to a 1-4 start?

Pacers vs Raptors Odds, Spread, Over/Under & Betting Pick

The latest odds from WynnBET have Indiana as -1.0 favorites against the spread, with Tick Carlisle’s team -110 (bet $110 to win $100) to cover. The Pacers are -120 (bet $120 to win $100) on the moneyline, while Toronto checks in at an even +100 (bet $100 to win $100). Talk about a toss-up!

The over-under in this contest is 218.5, with the under coming in at -110 and the over also listed at -110. Vegas genuinely has no idea how this matchup will turn out, and it may end up going to whichever team can avoid turning the ball over and shooting themselves in the foot.

Toronto Raptors vs Indiana Pacers Prediction

The Pacers might be 1-3, but with Sabonis and Turner able to go to work against a subpar frontcourt, that could make it difficult for Toronto to corral them. Duarte becoming a contributor this early might make things even harder.

However, it seems almost impossible that Toronto will start the season off 0-4 at home. Likewise, they won’t shoot 29% from 3-point range all season long. This could be the matchup that gets them out of their slump. Take the under, but also expect a victory from the hosts.
