Form and results:
Toronto Raptors:
- Raptors were down by 30 points at the end of the 3rd quarter and the way match was going, Mavericks looked the likeliest winner.

- It was Raptors‘ 5th straight win, a result that helped the champions to 21-8 on the season.
- Next up for Nick Nurse and his men is a home clash against the Pacers. Raptors should start the game as favourites as they have dropped only three games in 16 at Scotiabank Arena this season.
Indiana Pacers:
- Pacers head into the game after receiving quite a hammering from Giannis Antetokounmpo and his men in the last game.
- Pacers lost 117-89 in what was the biggest defeat for them this season, and it was also the result that ended their five-game winning streak.
- That said, the Pacers still maintain a very good return on the season, as they sit 6th on the Eastern Conference table with a 20-10 record.
