Indiana at Toronto 11-24-09

November 24, 2009

With four losses in five games, Toronto (6-8) desperately needs a spark from somebody. The Raptors backups did the best they could without guards Marco Belinelli(groin) and Antoine Wright(ankle) on Sunday, but were outscored 37-22 in a 104-96 loss to Orlando.

Belinelli will be a game-time decision after getting hurt in Friday night’s 120-113 win over Miami. He was beginning to give the Raptors consistent scoring, averaging 15.3 points and going 11 for 22 from 3-point range in four games prior to facing the Heat. Wright, who has missed four of the last five games, is day to day. He started his last game after coming off the bench in his previous nine contests, but his injury limited him to five points and four assists in 17 minutes of a 130-112 loss to Denver last Tuesday.

The Pacers have lost three straight after winning their previous five, and appear to be lacking cohesion as they try to work injured players back into the lineup.

The Raptors won five of their last six home games against the Pacers even though Bosh was limited to 17.5 points per contest during that span. Toronto and Indiana each won twice at home in last season’s series.  I like toronto in this game.
