The 2-12 Toronto Raptors welcome the 6-7 Indiana Pacers to the Scotiabank Arena on Monday for this Eastern Conference clash. Let’s take a closer look at the match statistics and offer up our prediction.

Toronto hold the NBA’s worst record at 2-12 but that’s not to say they have been getting embarrassed on a nightly basis. Of their current seven-game losing streak, four have come by a margin of four or fewer points.

Most recently, the Raptors lost a 126-123 overtime nailbiter to the Boston Celtics as they still seek their first win on the road. They’ll return to their home gym where they’ve posted a 2-4 record so far.

The Pacers have experienced a lukewarm start to the 2024/25 season. After the highs of reaching the Eastern Conference Finals last year, the hope would have been that they could push into the new campaign with that same momentum.

They’ve managed only six wins from the first 13, although a 119-110 home win over the Heat last night is a good sign. It snapped a two-game losing streak as the Pacers scorched the nets with 44.8% shooting from beyond the arc.

The challenge will be keeping up that same rhythm as they play the second night of a back-to-back on the road.
