If Indiana Pacers fans want to say that no one believe in them, well, they’re almost 100% correct.
Out of 38 experts, only ESPN’s Ethan Sherwood Strauss picked the Pacers to beat the Toronto Raptors in the first round of the NBA playoffs. He thinks the series will go six games with Indiana being victorious.
On average, the experts see a 6-game series with the Raptors coming out on top. No one picked a sweep.
Even FiveThirtyEight’s CARMELO isn’t a fan, giving Indiana only an 18% chance of advancing out of the first round and into the conference semifinals.
