PREVIEW: The Toronto Raptors arrive in Indianapolis ranked first in good passing while featuring low-frequency three-point shooting at 38.0%, representing the 26th ranked offense in that category. Toronto has won four of their last five games, including back-to-back road victories, showcasing remarkably consistent form. Their potent offensive line frequently allows them to surpass the 121-point mark against formidable opponents. The trio of Barnes, Poeltl, and Quickley delivered an outstanding performance in their most recent outing, while bench players prevented opponents from closing gaps during starters' breaks. Indiana finds themselves in dire straits, having lost five consecutive games and compiling a record of just one win and 11 losses. The Pacers rank second in defensive rebounding but struggle defensively overall, allowing plenty of rim attacks while ranking 30th in passing quality with isolation-heavy offense. The team's main weaknesses include inadequate defense, low offensive efficiency, and difficulty adapting to their semi-reserve lineup as chemistry remains noticeably absent within the new roster. Their most recent defeat came at the hands of the Phoenix Suns by a score of 133-98, continuing a troubling pattern of blowout losses.
