Raptors vs. Pacers Odds & Betting Predictions - January 15, 2026

We have 2 teams here headed in opposite directions, at least for the time being. The Pacers of all teams have won 3 straight. The Raptors should be 0-3 in their last 3, but they snuck one out in OT against Philly, then got blasted the very next game. Philadelphia’s 80 first-half points were the most by a Raptors opponent this season. Poeltl is still out, Barrett still out, Ja’Kobe Walter still out. Also, double-revenge spot here, 3rd meeting between these 2 teams, Raptors took the first 2. But this Pacers team is playing well right now, impressive wins against Boston and Miami – so this is not a hollow streak they’re on. I’ve thought all season they were better than their record showed, but they just haven’t been able to close out games. Now they’re figuring that out. The Raptors slide is something fierce too and is perhaps flying under the radar of NBA bettors. Since their 9-game winning streak in November, they’ve leveled off to go 12-10. This is not the wagon they were to start the season. Another angle to consider here is how profitable home dogs have been in the NBA this season. Home dogs are covering at a rate of 57% on a sample of 252 games, that’s about 4% points higher than league average over the past 20 years. I like the Pacers to get the cover here.
