Indiana Pacers
The Pacers continue to ride a season where they finished in a place far from where they expected to be at season start.
Rick Carlisle’s first season back as head coach oversaw a massive change to the roster and will have to wait another season to show how productive they can be.
In the interim, Indy joined the small group of “tankers” as they sought better position in the NBA Draft Lottery.
In the most recent loss to the Grizzlies, Lance Stephenson scored 25 points to lead the Pacers. Youngers Terry Taylor offered 17 points while Goga Bitadze offfered 14 points in the losing cause.
Tyrese Haliburton looks like a gem and this offseason the Pacers front office will attempt to construct a championship squad around the talented point guard.
The Pacers arrive to this match losers of seven out of their last 10 and with a lengthy injury report.
Malcolm Brogdon (rest), Jalen Smith (illness), Isaiah Jackson (head), and Chris Duarte (toe) are questionable for Saturday versus the Raptors. Myles Turner (foot), T.J. McConnell (wrist), and TJ Warren (foot) are all out indefinitely. Ricky Rubio (ACL) is lost for the season.
Toronto Raptors
OG Anunoby had been out since the All-Star Break having learned he fractured his ring finger. While the finger isn’t completely healed it was taped up and he made his return to the lineup after missing 15 games and made an immediate impact.
Looking slimmer than he did prior to going out he was solid both defensively and offensively highlighted by a run down block and connecting on four of his eight 3-point attempts for 14 points, two rebounds, and three assists in playing 26 minutes.
But it was Pascal Siakam who brought a playoff edge to the court scoring 35 points with five rebounds, six assists and tied his career-high of six 3-pointers (on seven attempts).
Chris Boucher was big off the bench with 17 points and eight rebounds while Scottie Barnes (11), Precious Achuiwa (10), and Fred VanVleet (10) were the other double-figure contributors.
Gary Trent Jr. (toe) missed his second game and is questionable for Saturday. Malachi Flynn (hamstring) is out indefinitely.

Free Indiana Pacers vs. Toronto Raptors NBA Prediction:
A win by the Raptors in this match will either put them in a tie with the Bulls or push them ahead ofthe Cavaliers into sixth depending on which of those teams win in their mutual contest today.
Of the three teams vying to avoid the play-in the Raptors have the most postseason experience and coincidentally momentum.
Moreover, the league are likely also covetous of them pulling ahead of seventh to avoid the potential of the Nets losing the opening play-in game since Toronto remains the one arena Kyrie Irving can’t play in.
