Indiana began its challenging home stretch with wins over Memphis (127-113) on Thursday and a 129-111 rout of the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday. However, three-time NBA Most Valuable Player Nikola Jokic's 18-point, 19-assist effort contributed to red-hot Denver snapping a three-game Pacers winning streak on Monday in a 125-116 decision.
Indiana aims to bounce back against a Toronto team languishing in 13th place in the East. Despite the Raptors' struggles, including dropping Tuesday's leg of a back-to-back vs. Boston, 111-101, Pacers coach Rick Carlisle pointed to Indiana's difficulties with Toronto in early-season matchups.
"Toronto's a big, physical team that we've had a lot of problems with," Carlisle said.
The Raptors won the two previous meetings: the first in November (130-119) and the second in December (122-111). Both were played in Toronto. RJ Barrett scored 39 and 29 points in the two previous encounters, while Scottie Barnes went for 35 points in the December meeting.
