Odds, Watch, Predictions

As the Indiana Pacers prepare to host the Toronto Raptors at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, all eyes will be on Bennedict Mathurin. With Tyrese Haliburton sidelined for the season due to an Achilles injury, Mathurin is expected to step up and lead the Pacers' offense. The Raptors, known for their defensive prowess, will likely focus on containing Mathurin early in the game. However, with Andrew Nembhard and Isaiah Jackson providing support, the Pacers have a solid chance of setting a strong pace in the first quarter.
