Pacers, Raptors Collide Looking To End Losing Streaks
The Toronto Raptors will host the Indiana Pacers at Amalie Arena on Sunday afternoon.

The Raptors (27-44) are coming off a 114-110 loss against the Dallas Mavericks the last time out, a result that pushed their losing streak to six contests. The losing streak can't be surprising, though, as the Raptors have decided to rest their key players knowing they have nothing to play for in the final days of the regular season. Jalen Harris paced the Raptors with 31 points in that loss, complementing them with four assists, two rebounds and one steal. Malachi Flynn supplied 26 points, six rebounds, five assists and two steals. Stanley Johnson posted a 15-point, 10-rebound double-double that also included one assist and one steal. Khem Birch and Aron Baynes posted matching 13-point, six-rebound tallies. For what is worth, the Raptors are ending the season in woeful form and have gone 1-9 over their last 10 contests, while posting a below-average 16-19 record at home.

The Pacers (33-38) end the season playing the second half of a back-to-back, as they're coming off a loss against the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday. Caris LeVert led the Pacers with 28 points and 12 assists, while also adding five rebounds and two steals. Doug McDermott notched 17 points with four rebounds, and Justin Holiday had 12 points. Goga Bitadze posted 10 points with seven rebounds, and JaKarr Sampson contributed 20 points off the bench. Kelan Martin had 15 points while coming off the bench. The Pacers are on a two-game losing streak and have won just four of their last 10 games, however, so it shouldn't be surprising to see them end the campaign on a woeful stretch of form. If there's one encouraging sign for the Pacers in their attempt of turning things around before the play-in tournament, however, that's because they've actually won most of their games when playing on the road -- they own a 20-15 mark away from Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

This will be the third and final game of the regular season between the two teams, with the record being 1-1 so far.
