The NBA scheduling team has not been kind to the Raptors so far this year. West-coast swings, back to backs (word to Drake), road trips have all made up the bulk of the schedule thus far, so it's only fitting that the first lengthy home-stand ends with a road back to back in Indiana. It would've been nice for the depleted Raptors to get some rest for DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry last night against the Sixers, but they both ended up playing well in excess of 70 minutes cumulatively.
The Pacers have been one of the surprises of the season so far.
