Should be a win. but with this team, I wouldn't be surprised if it's just another awful, let down game.

Wow, didn't know Toronto had so many injured players.

I don't care if it's an away game, this betta be an easy W.

Same starting lineup for the Pacers tonight.

I assume the Raptors go with
Olynyk
Trent Jr.
Barrett
Agbaji
????- Brown, McDaniel, or Temple

Edited

as the 5th starter is Javon-Freeman-Liberty 6-3 guard from DePaul. Went 0-6 last game vs Wizards. Prior game 2-4.

I pick the Pacers to dominate tonight and win by 15-20

Don't be too sure we win this. They're not good enough for the team to get up for the game.

G-League scrub of the night who kills the Pacers, Javon Freeman-Liberty!!

In my opinion I Jax should be in place of Jalen Smith in the rotation.

Jalen Smith has been terrible at the rim and rebounding. I’m falling out of love with keeping him next year.

I expect Jackson to replace Smith next season. Smith seems to be kind of brittle has a lot of back issues. He'll probably opt out and some team is gonna pay him and MLE type deal. I'd let him go and try to get a developmental big man in the 2nd round.

Pacers 65-64 at halftime. Had to play harder than they should’ve just to come back.

These holes this team digs are horrendous. Do that in the playoffs and they will wear themselves down very quickly.

We may have that already with Oscar.

I Jax takes Smith’s rotation spot in the second half. I like that Carlisle sees the effort

Does Bruce Brown look like he's still pissed about the trade? He's taking it to the rim, talking at the Pacer's bench lol

Pacers 106-91 after 3. Finally the starters got serious and are wearing down the Raptors.

I wonder if Smith's back is acting up.

I hope not. However, I hope he’s getting a message from Carlisle that if you’re not ready to defend the rim and rebound Isiah Jackson is available to.

Pacers win 140-123. I just felt like the Raptors not having Quickly and Dick tonight gave the Pacers a big advantage. If they would have played this would have been a down to the wire contest.

Huge game from Obi Toppin with 23 points on 10-14 shooting and 6 rebounds. Haliburton also was huge shooting 10-16 for 30 points and 5 assists.

Siakam played well with 16 points, Turner 16, TJ 17, Sheppard 11 points.
