10* COACH'S CLINIC on the Toronto Raptors.

The Indiana Pacers and the Toronto Raptors enter Monday's Game 5 of this Eastern Conference Quarterfinals series all tied at 2-2. Homecourt advantage have not been a big factor with both teams recording a win in their opponents building. I still like the Raptors to take the driver's seat in the series with a win home at Air Canada Centre tonight.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Fatigue - The Pacers' Paul George and George Hill have done a terrific job slowing down the Raptors backcourt, but how long can they keep it up? It's only a matter of time before DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry wake up for real, and then the Pacers' will be in some serious trouble.

2. Home Cookin' - Toronto lost the series-opener home at Air Canada Centre but won the subsequent game 98-87. "Toronto's a very hostile environment, hostile crowd," Paul George said at the press conference leading up to the game. "Game 5 is going to be about taking their crowd out of the equation." Easier said than done; The Raptors have covered the spread in five of their past six in front home the home town crowd and Indiana is 1-4 ATS in its last five road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600.

3. X-Factor - If Toronto is to win it, as it should as a favorite, it is more then likely to cover the spread. Both teams' two victories in the series have been by an average of 13.5 points.
