Pacers Game Tonight: Pacers vs Raptors Odds, Injury Report, and Predictions for Nov. 26
The Indiana Pacers had their two-game winning streak snapped after losing to LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers at home in overtime despite mounting a sizeable lead in the fourth and appearing to be in control of the game. With Thanksgiving now over, the team will be on deck for another meeting with a common nemesis they’ve struggled against all season long.
Already nabbing two victories over Indiana this season, the pesky Toronto Raptors will be back in town for both teams’ third meeting in this campaign. The Pacers are a much-improved team compared to the team which succumbed to the Raptors early on, but given their struggles against the Nick Nurse-led squad which extends to recent seasons, this should be a tight contest.
On the season, the Pacers are 5-4 at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse and 4-9 against the East while the Raptors are 7-4 on the road and 7-6 against conference foes. Indiana ranks 16th in offensive rating and 13th in defensive rating while Toronto sits at eighth and 23rd, respectively, on the same departments.

Indiana Pacers vs Toronto Raptors Prediction
Toronto’s switchy defense has slowed down Indiana’s offense in both meetings this season, notably being able to shut down the Pacers’ big men and deterrig them from posting up to thwart their size advantage. Nick Nurse’s game planning against the Blue and Gold has been annoyingly successful in recent seasons, with the Raptors claiming the victory in six out of last nine meetings with the Pacers.
However, fresh off a painful loss against the Lakers, Indiana should be better equipped to handle Toronto’s gimmicky tactics this time, especially with a healthier roster and more featured scorers available to diversify the team’s attack against the Raptors’ hit-and-miss defense in recent weeks.
