Toronto Raptors: 3 must-watch games in December

1. Toronto Raptors vs. Indiana Pacers (Dec. 1)

The first game of the new month is a rematch vs the red-hot Indiana Pacers. The two faced off in a thriller that ended up going the Pacers’ way as they outscored the Raptors 107-104.

This means that the Raptors are going to be ready for their revenge against the Pacers, especially since it is going to be in front of their home crowd in Toronto. This spells bad news for Pacers fans, since the Raptors have a home record of 7-1 so far this season.

One player to keep an eye on is DeMar DeRozan during this one. Their last game saw DeRozan struggle to get it going offensively as he only scored 13 points on 37.5 percent shooting.

This is something that DeRozan is not going to forget easily, and that means he is going to be aggressive in this game.

If he can come out of the gates hot, and the rest of the team follows, then the Raptors should see themselves picking up a good win.
