Key Storylines
The Raptors enter this contest with a record above .500 (24-17) and are led by a balanced offensive attack. Brandon Ingram is averaging 21.7 points per game, anchoring Toronto’s scoring, with Immanuel Quickley and Scottie Barnes providing significant contributions on both ends of the floor. Quickley brings playmaking to the table as well with 6.1 assists per game, while Barnes gives energy on defense and on the glass. Toronto’s offense ranks among the better units in the league, and its ability to score in a variety of ways makes it dangerous, even when key rotation pieces are limited.
Toronto is dealing with with injuries to Jakob Poeltl, RJ Barrett, Ja’Kobe Walter and Chucky Hepburn. The absences of Poeltl and Barrett could be especially damaging in a game like this one. Indiana’s injury situation has been tough as well. Tyrese Haliburton is out for the season with a ruptured Achilles and other impact players such as Bennedict Mathurin and Obi Toppin are also sidelined. The absence of core pieces has left Indiana scrambling for consistent production, though Pascal Siakam and Andrew Nembhard have carried much of the offensive load this season and remain key threats.
Indiana has done a nice job of overcoming their injuries recently, winning three straight games after a 6-31 start to the season. The Pacers have notched back-to-back home wins over the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat and they will look for a third straight home win here, and a fourth straight win overall.
