The Pacers have been the highest scoring offense in the NBA this year.This year, the opposing team's starting SFs have put up 23.8 points per game (30th-highest in the league) against the Toronto Raptors, resulting in a good matchup for offensive performance.The Indiana Pacers have played at the fastest pace-of-play in the league on their home court this year.The Raptors have played at the 5th-quickest pace-of-play in the league over the last 5 games, which should lead to more plays for the Indiana Pacers.With the home court advantage, the Raptors have allowed the 8th-least offensive boards per game (10.1) in the league to the other team this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce further opportunities for scoring and assists).
