1.88Tip and bets
Considering that Indiana beat Boston at home, showing character in the end with a weak overall balance, and Toronto lost to Philadelphia, failing to start, but remaining the more stable team of the season, the meeting looks like a confrontation of form and class. In face-to-face meetings this season, the advantage was for the Raptors (2-0), who had already defeated the Pacers. Even with injuries to Poeltl, Barrett and other key players, Toronto retains the status of the favorite due to the depth of the squad and a systematic attack. The optimal bet is the victory of Toronto, the odds are 1.72 according to the bookmakers. Their balanced offense and steady play should outweigh Indiana's home momentum.
Our prediction is that Toronto will win 1.72
