Fun facts:
- Indiana has a 0.0 net rating since the all star break. If ever there was an average team, this is it. They've been losing games lately in spite of it. Another team like CHA that is better than their record or recent record would indicate.
- Indiana is 7th in the league in points off catch and shoot jumpers. Force them to create offence individually and a big chunk of their scoring will disappear.
- The Raptors have a league average offence and the third best defence since the all star break.
