KEY MATCHUP Oladipo/DeRozan Pacers swingman Victor Oladipo touched up the Raptors for 21 points last week in Indianapolis and continues to pay dividends from the trade of Paul George. The 25-year-old is averaging 22.8 points per game, 6.5 points above his career average.

DeMar DeRozan rebounded from three so-so offensive games (18, 13 and two points) to put up 30 in a Wednesday win over Charlotte. One thing about that two-point effort against Atlanta: The Raptors were plus-20 when DeRozan was on the floor.

NEED TO KNOW The Pacers beat Toronto 107-104 last week in a particularly contentious game that included two Lance Ste

phenson bodychecks on DeRozan that the league admitted were missed calls . . . Stephenson had 13 points in the final five minutes of that win . . . The Raptors are 7-1 at the Air Canada Centre ... Toronto finished November shooting 50.4 per cent (583-for-1,156) from the field in 14 games, the second best shooting month (February, 2007, 50.7 per cent) in franchise history . . . Former Raptors guard Cory Joseph went scoreless in 22 minutes of Indiana’s win over Toronto last week, and again in more than 25 minutes against Houston on Wednesday. He has a combined 21 points in his last five games.
