What you need to know about the Pacers
The Pacers came into the matchup on Monday full of confidence, but they fell 111-102 to the Charlotte Hornets. Despite their loss, the Pacers saw several players rise to the challenge and make noteworthy plays. Myles Turner, who scored 22 points along with five rebounds and two steals, was perhaps the best of all.
The Pacers struggled to get the ball back on offense and finished the game with only two offensive rebounds. That’s the fewest offensive rebounds they’ve managed all season. Indiana is now just 2-5 against the spread in its last seven games.
What you need to know about the Raptors
Meanwhile, it’s hard to win when you don’t work as a unit and post 12 fewer assists than your opponent, a fact the Raptors found out the hard way on Monday. They suffered a bruising 122-99 loss at the hands of the San Antonio Spurs. The Raptors have now lost 14 of their last 18 games.
Despite their recent struggles, the Raptors will be confident they can pull off the upset on Wednesday. That’s because Toronto is 13-2 in its last 15 games when playing at home against Indiana. In addition, the Raptors are 4-1 against the spread in their last five games played on a Wednesday.
