How to watch Pacers vs. Raptors basketball game

Through 3 Quarters
Down one at the end of last quarter, the Toronto Raptors have now snagged the lead. After three quarters neither squad has the game in the bag, but the Raptors lead 69-68 over the Indiana Pacers.
Toronto hasn’t had any offensive standouts so far with all players held to 12 points or fewer. Another thing to keep an eye out for is Chris Boucher’s foul situation as he currently sits at four.
Indiana has been relying on the performance of power forward Domantas Sabonis, who has dropped a double-double on 19 points and 13 rebounds.
The Pacers haven’t lost 100% of the games in which they were down heading into the final period this year, so a win here would be refreshing.

What to Know
The Indiana Pacers need to shore up a defense that is allowing 115.17 points per game before their contest Saturday. They and the Toronto Raptors will face off at 7:30 p.m. ET Oct. 30 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse without much rest after finishing up games yesterday. Toronto should still be riding high after a win, while the Pacers will be looking to get back in the win column.
Indiana came up short against the Brooklyn Nets on Friday, falling 105-98. Point guard T.J. McConnell wasn’t much of a difference maker for Indiana; McConnell played for 33 minutes but put up just eight points on 4-for-14 shooting.
Meanwhile, Toronto escaped with a win on Friday against the Orlando Magic by the margin of a single free throw, 110-109. Toronto’s shooting guard Scottie Barnes was one of the most active players for the squad, picking up 21 points along with nine boards.
Barring any buzzer beaters, Indiana is expected to win a tight contest. Those who got lucky with them against the spread on Friday might want to hold off on placing bets this time since the team has yet to string together back-to-back wins against the spread.
This past Wednesday, the Pacers lost to the Raptors on the road by a decisive 118-100 margin. Maybe Indiana will have more luck at home instead of on the road? Watch the matchup and check back on CBS Sports for all the details.
