    I like the Pacers to cover tonight on the road against a bad Toronto team.

    Thoughts?

    I found the following information elsewhere. Take it as you will:

    The Raptors have a strong tendency to lose by 4 or more points.

    Here's the breakdown:
    2006-2007-- 29 out of 35 losses
    2007-2008-- 38 out of 41 losses
    2008-2009-- 45 out of 49 losses
    2009-2010-- 37 out of 42 losses
    2010-2011-- 53 out of 60 losses
    2011-2012-- 7 out of 7 losses

    So, 209 of their last 234 losses(89%) have been by 4 or more points.


    In their first matchup, which Indiana won 90-85, the Raptors shot well--46% from the field and 40% from 3 point range. Demar DeRozan also went crazy in the 4th, scoring 16 points. I don't think the Raps repeat that tonight. The Pacers shot only 39% and still emerged with a 5 point win. I really like the Pacers big frontcourt with Granger, West, Hansbrough and Hibbert matching up with the Raptors. I also think Collison can neutralize Calderon with his speed.

    The Raptors have suffered losses of 12, 25, 15,and 7 points to New Jersey, Philly, Washington and Sacramento in the last week. Dismal performances by the Raptors recently. Even with Bargnani playing, the Raptors are the 4th worst team in points per 100 possessions.

    Bargnani may be hobbled tonight as well, his calf status will be known later today. I personally don't think he will play tonight.
