The matchup against the Toronto Raptors is a difficult one; they have allowed the 4th-least points per game in the league to the opposition's starting PGs over the last 20 games (17.1).The Raptors have played at the 10th-most lethargic pace-of-play in the NBA this year, which ought to lead to fewer opportunities for the Indiana Pacers.The Pacers check in as the 2nd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 25 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce further chances for scoring and assists).The matchup vs. Toronto may be a challenging one for getting to the charity stripe; the other team's starting PGs have attempted a mere 3.3 foul shots per game over the last 5 games when the Toronto Raptors are playing at home (5th-least in the league).
