The Toronto Raptors (17 - 6) defeated the Indiana Pacers (7 - 16) 106 - 94 on Friday. Toronto has won four of their last six games as they continue to find ways to win without DeMar DeRozan (adductor) in the lineup. Landry Fields started at small forward for the second straight game, putting up eight points in 21 minutes. Louis Williams scored a game - high 26 points off the bench, continuing to show up with big offensive production most games. DrRozan is expected to miss at least another few weeks. The Raptors will go on the road to face the New York Knicks on Sunday. Indiana is almost back to full health, excluding Paul George who is out for the season, but since getting David West back eight games ago, they've only won a single game. George Hill returned to practice in a limited capacity Thursday, but he's no savior. He wo n't turn the tide for the Pacers. If they ca n't compete with their current lineups, they wo n't improve much with Hill back. C.J. Miles turned a couple good shooting performances off the bench into a move into the starting lineup Friday, but after just 13 minutes of action, Miles suffered a bruised knee and was removed from the game. Roy Hibbert started off the season performing well on both sides of the court, but since returning from an ankle injury six games ago, Hibbert has been foul prone and generally inept on both sides of the court. It's possible his ankle injury is still hindering his mobility and effectiveness. The Pacers will have a chance to redeem themselves Saturday when they host the Portland Trail Blazers.
