IND vs TOR Dream11 Match Prediction

 

IND vs TOR Dream11: Following a big loss at Milwaukee Bucks in the last match, Indiana Pacers will be aiming to return to winning ways when they host the defending champions Toronto Raptors at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, on Tuesday morning (IST).

But the Raptors are hot at the moment and if the confidence is a psychological trait, then the champions may be much of a force than they can be after a monumental result of their own in the last game. The current Raptors squad carved out their name in the franchise history books after erasing a 30-point deficit in the fourth and the penultimate quarter to beat Dallas Mavericks 110-107 in the last match. It was their 5th straight win and 13th in the 16 home games this season. With the win, the Raptors remain fourth on the points table.

Indiana Pacers, meanwhile, must take heart from their cumulative form this season, rather than thinking about the negatives of the last game. But it may take some time for the Pacers unit to overcome the beating Giannis Anteotkounmpo and his Milwaukee Bucks gave them, as they won 117-89 at Fiserv Forum. It was Pacers’ first defeat in six games.
