Not too long ago, a playoff appearance was enough to satisfy long-suffering Toronto Raptors fans.
Not anymore. Not when the team is making its third consecutive trip to the post-season and coming off a franchise record 56-win campaign.
The Raptors are massive favourites at Sports Interaction to take down the Indiana Pacers and move on to the second round of the playoffs for just the second time in team history. Sports Interaction lists the Toronto Raptors playoff odds to beat the Pacers at -372 on the series line, which implies their probability of winning the series is nearly 80%.
Of course, the Raps were also solid favourites to beat the Washington Wizards last year in Round 1, and we all remember how that went.
Here’s a complete look at what Sports Interaction is offering for Raptors playoff odds against the Pacers, which tips off Saturday afternoon. If you don’t want to lay nearly 4:1 on the Raptors to win the series, you could always take a stab at predicting the correct series score (a Raptors sweep would pay almost $600 on a $100 bet). Or you could bet on how long the series will take, with 7 games being the favourite at +176.
