PREVIEW: The Indiana Pacers and Toronto Raptors meet Wednesday in NBA action at the Scotiabank Arena. The Pacers have lost 15 of their last 17 games , a stark contrast to the Raptors winning 12 of their last 13 games. The Pacers will be without Tyrese Haliburton, Obi Toppin, Kam Jones, Aaron Nesmith, Johnny Furphy, and Quenton Jackson , making this matchup heavily one-sided on paper. The Toronto Raptors (13-5) are heavily favored (-10) to extend an eight-game winning streak when they host the Indiana Pacers (2-15) , creating a significant gap between two teams heading in completely different directions. Despite the lopsided records, the underlying statistics paint an interesting picture of how these teams operate. The Toronto Raptors are averaging 121.2 points on 50.5 percent shooting and allowing 114.7 points on 46.2 percent shooting , while the Indiana Pacers are averaging 108.7 points on 40.1 percent shooting and allowing 123.2 points on 48.4 percent shooting. Neither team has ShotQuality data available for analysis in this preview , limiting deeper insights into shot selection quality. Still, the Raptors' offensive efficiency and defensive prowess give them every reason to control the pace and flow of this NBA Cup group play matchup.
