Expert picks & predictions for Wednesday’s Raptors vs. Pacers game
NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) leans toward the Raptors +10 at the Pacers:
“Toronto is 2-0 against Indiana this season with double-digit wins in both outings, yet the spread is -10 for Indiana. The Pacers were -2 and -3 point favorites in those games and lost outright. Oddsmakers raised this line to -10, which indicates they expect a blowout since Toronto is on the second night of a back-to-back. However, the Raptors are 6-4 ATS and 2-8 on the ML with no rest this season and this smells like a trap line either direction. I lean the +10 with the Raptors.”
