NBA Odds: Pacers vs. Raptors prediction, odds, pick and more

The Indiana Pacers lost 133-103 to the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday. Lance Stephenson scored 25 points off the bench. Tyrese Haliburton scored just nine points. Toronto beat Cleveland Cavaliers 117-104 on the same day. Pascal Siakam scored 35 points and Chris Boucher added 17 points, while the team is now 41-32.

Indiana Pacers are rebuilding and have been struggling this season. They beat the Portland Trail Blazers last Sunday, 129-98, at home. Then they lost by one to the Sacramento Kings last Wednesday and by a similar margin to Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday. Tyrese Haliburton has been shooting poorly recently, but he's still averaging 9.2 points. Scottie Barnes has had a rough stretch, averaging 10.7 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 4.3 assists. Chris Duarte will miss his fifth straight game due to a sore left big toe, while Goga Bitazde and Jalen Smith are both questionable.

The Raptors have a 41-31 record against the spread. They beat the Suns, Nuggets, and Sixers this March. The Raptors beat Cleveland a couple of nights ago. Toronto and Cleveland are tied on 41 points. The Cavs still hold the tie-breaker and have their hands on the 6th and final outright playoff berth in the East.

Pascal Siakam is playing at an All-NBA level this month. Malachi Flynn is out with a hamstring injury. Gary Trent Jr. is also questionable due to a toe injury, but he did participate in a light practice on Friday. OG Anunoby is back from a month-long absence.

The Raptors lost to the Magic and the Pistons earlier this month. Toronto is a -11 favorite against the Pacers.
