NBA *HARDWOOD HAMMER*
(NBA) Toronto vs. Indiana,
Point Spread: 2.50 | -110.00 Toronto (Away)
Result: Loss
Play: Toronto Raptors
Rating: 8/10*

The surging Toronto Raptors have won eight of their last nine games, but I don't think they'll slow down just yet as they battle to hold off the Wizards for the #3 seed in the East. The Raptors are 14-6 ATS in the last 20 meetings overall and they beat Indiana 111-100 home at Toronto last Friday. We can also note that they're 9-3 ATS in the last 12 meetings at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

The reeling Pacers are #9 in the conference and desperate for wins to advance in the standings, but they've dropped four straight and six of their last seven.

The Raptors are playing too well right now to go against, let's back the visitors in this matchup.
