Indiana Pacers vs Toronto Raptors Betting Preview

The Indiana Pacers are set to face off against the Toronto Raptors in a Monday night showdown at Scotiabank Arena, with tip-off slated for 7:30 PM ET. The Pacers come into this contest as the favorites, despite a taxing back-to-back schedule, having just emerged victorious against the Miami Heat 119-110.

Currently sitting at 6-7, the Pacers are favored by 4.5 points on the road, with a moneyline of -190, translating to a 63% implied probability of victory. However, playing back-to-back games is often a challenge, especially on the road, where Indiana has struggled recently, dropping four of their last five games away from home.

On the other side, the Raptors hope to snap a seven-game losing streak. Toronto's 2-12 record reflects their recent struggles, but their narrow 126-123 loss to the Boston Celtics in their last outing suggests they're capable of competing in tightly contested games. The Raptors are listed at +165 on the moneyline, providing an implied probability of 37% to pull off the upset.

Bettors with an eye on player props might want to focus on Jakob Poeltl's points and rebounds, a market that's attracted significant interest. Sharp money has been hitting the under, causing the prop total to shift from 29.5 points and rebounds (-110) down to 28.5 (-120).

While the odds favor the Pacers, there's a palpable uncertainty due to their road woes and the grueling nature of a back-to-back. With Indiana's rest disadvantage and Toronto's desperation for a win, this matchup could offer intriguing twists for bettors.
