The Sporting News has you covered with the NBA odds for this Eastern Conference showdown, as well as some best bets and top props from the BetMGM online sportsbook.

The Pacers are coming off a nine-point win over the Heat, only a couple games after their barn-burner win over the Knicks 132-121. Scott Carlisle's team remains one of the most run-and-gun teams in the NBA. 

The Raptors, meanwhile, have hit the skids. They've dropped seven games in a row and now sit 10 games under .500, although their cover rate of 64.3 percent (9-5 ATS) has been quite impressive. 

Let's get right to the best bets and top props for the Raptors vs. Pacers this evening, as well as a final score prediction for this Eastern Conference clash. 

Raptors vs. Pacers odds, pick against spread

All odds and props are from BetMGM, an authorized gaming operator of the NBA.

• ATS: Pacers -3.5 (-110) | Raptors +3.5 (-110)
• Moneyline: Pacers -160 | Raptors +135
• Over/under: O 234.5 (-105) | U 234.5 (-115)

Darko Rajaković's squad has gone 9-5 against the spread (64.3% cover rate), but just 2-12 straight up. Still, oddsmakers understandably don't trust a young team at the bottom of the Eastern Conference against one of the flashier offenses in the NBA. 

Raptors vs. Pacers best bets and final score prediction

The Pacers have beaten the Raptors the past three times these squads have met in Toronto, and we have Tyrese Haliburton and company making it four straight. Hali, Pascal Siakam and the Pacers have far too much firepower, too fast a pace, and too many shooters to falter against a Raps team still missing franchise player Scottie Barnes. 

Toronto has also missed point guard Immanuel Quickley, who has missed the majority of the season with an elbow injury and a bad illness. Barnes and IQ missing time has put more onus on RJ Barrett and Gradey Dick offensively, which doesn't always translate to efficient scoring. 

The Pacers defend the three-ball well, and they also block shots and rebound surprisingly well for a team with a run-and-gun offensive style. The points should be flowing early and often in this one, and we have trouble envisioning Toronto being able to keep up. Take the road favorites to easily cover the -3.5, while the game cruises to the OVER. 

FINAL SCORE PREDICTION: Pacers 124, Raptors 116 — The Pacers win and cover, and the game goes well OVER the projected total of 234.5. 

Raptors vs. Pistons top player prop bet

Tyrese Haliburton OVER 9.5 assists (-135)

Haliburton often pads his assist stats against inferior opponents, especially when Indy gets out to a big lead. The young stud point guard averages just 8.8 dimes per game so far this season, rather pedestrian for what we've come to expect from him. Don't be surprised if Hali tallies 12-plus, like he did when these teams met at ScotiaBank last February.
