Feb 13 2018 Toronto Ontario CAN Toronto Raptors guard De Mar DeRozan drives to the basket over Miami Heat forward Josh Richardson during the third quarter at Air Canada Centre
The Toronto Raptors' winning streak hit 10 games as they defeated the Indiana Pacers 106-99 in Indianapolis on Thursday night. "That's something our guys have developed". "You have to remain solid in close games like that".
Toronto's late-game surge was led by some deadly shooting by C.J. Miles, who saved all of his 10 points for the fourth quarter.
Looking at the betting trends, the Raptors are 6-1 ATS in their last seven road games, 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games following a win of more than 10 points and 4-1- ATS in their last five games overall.
IN got within 102-99 in the final minute, but the Raptors closed it out when DeRozan stole an inbounds pass and scored on a breakaway dunk with 10.5 seconds left.
The Raptors and Pacers have split the first two games this season, with both teams winning on their home court. The Pacers escaped the first half without a single turnover, but Toronto increased the pressure and forced five turnovers from the home team in the third quarter. Only two teams - Golden State and Washington - have beaten the Raptors twice this season.

Explosion at Hood County chemical plant Thursday morning
Winds are blowing north at about 15 to 20 miles per hour with gusts of 20 miles per hour or more, heading toward Parker County. Jesse Bailey works at Metro West Transport, right next to the chemical plant, and said he was rattled by the explosion.
Toronto has won nine straight and 16 of their last 17 games, to give them 50 wins for the third straight season.
Pacers: Victor Oladipo scored 18 points and had three steals, extending his streak of consecutive games with at least one steal to 52. Jefferson also had 12 rebounds. Turner returned in the second half. IN had a moment of silence before the game for New Orleans Pelicans owner Tom Benson, who died earlier Thursday. But Oladipo has emerged as a backcourt force in the East and Sabonis, who missed Thursday's game with an ankle injury, is an emerging young frontcourt player. Sabonis has already been ruled out of Saturday's game.
Following Thursday's contest the Raptors immediately return home for a Friday night date with the Dallas Mavericks, and host the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday.
The Indianapolis team has been one of the surprise bunches in the National Basketball Association this season.
