Indiana has lost 11 straight games on the road and will try to avoid losing 12 straight for the first time in over 18 years. BIG EDGE: BOBCATS
Pacers forward Jermaine O'Neal has missed two of the last four games due to injury. He is averaging 23.5 points in two games against the Bobcats this season. SLIGHT EDGE: PACERS - CHECK STATUS

The Raptors are 9-2 ATS in the last 11 meetings in Philadelphia.


Minnesota Timberwolves at New York Knicks (7:30 PM ET)
New York fell 92-90 at home to Philadelphia on Wednesday for its 10th loss in 13 games. This is a must-win situation for the Knicks, considering their 2 1/2 games behind Orlando for the eight and final playoff spot with eight games remaining. EDGE: KNICKS

Memphis has the fewest home wins in the NBA, posting a 12-25 record at FedEx Forum, where they have lost three in a row. EDGE: WARRIORS
