The Indiana Pacers are on the outside looking in at the Eastern Conference playoff picture and time is starting to run out. Paul George and company will have to get the job done against one of the East’s top teams, the Toronto Raptors, on Tuesday. Sportsbooks opened the Raps as 2.5-point underdogs with a total of 206.

- The visiting team is 0-6 SU in its last six games in this matchup.

Indiana’s struggles since before the all-star break have been well documented. The Pacers, who were 29-22 SU on February 6, are just 8-18 over the last 26 games and are sitting in the ninth spot thanks to the eighth-place Miami Heat owning a tiebreaker between the squads.
