T.M. Selection: Raptors/Pacers UNDER.

I am on the under in the Toronto Raptors vs Indiana Pacers game on Saturday. The Raptors have won 2 games in a row now and they will be starting a 3 game road trip in Indiana tonight. The Raptors have been a lower scoring team this year since the season started but they have also played 5/6 games on the comfort of their own home court. Their 1st road game this year was in Boston and they came right back home after that game. This will be the 1st time this year that they are away from home for an extended period of time. This is also a revenge spot for the Pacers since the Raptors beat them a few nights ago in Toronto 118-100. The Pacers started their season with 2 high scoring games putting up 120+ points in each but have since then played a much slower pace and defensive style putting up no more than 109 points in their last 4 in a row. I expect this to be a lower scoring game that is slower in pace and that both teams play defense well in. The Pacers will want to get back at the Raptors for their win in the last meeting and they will stress good defense to shut down the Raptors here. I think the Raptors are going to use that same defensive strategy here so I like this game to go under.

T.M. Prediction: 101-97 Pacers.
