Pistons at Raptors picks and predictions

Prediction

Raptors 117, Pistons 104

Moneyline

PASS.

The Pistons have been awful over the last few weeks and aren't worth a play at +235. The Raptors are too expensive on the moneyline here as well. Ultimately avoid both options.

Against the spread

LEAN RAPTORS +7.5 (-108).

The Pistons are 3-5 ATS over their last 8 games and are 2-3 ATS over their last 5 road games. Detroit will be down multiple key players and will rely heavily on Cunningham, who is shooting just 40.4% from the field. His inefficiency will hurt the Pistons against a lengthy Raptors side.

Toronto should be at full strength and have far more efficient scorers leading its team. At home, against the team sitting at the bottom in the Eastern Conference, expect Toronto to win by double figures. Back RAPTORS +7.5 (-108).

Over/Under

BET OVER 217.5 (-110).

The Pistons have gone Over in 6 of their last 8, mainly due to their inefficient defense. They have allowed 114 or more in all but one of those games. The Pistons' defense ranks 22nd in the NBA with Toronto sitting 8th.

What Detroit will bring to the game is tempo, sitting 14th in the NBA in pace. The Raptors are 3-3 O/U over their last 6 games yet have scored at least 110 in 2 of their last 3.

Expect the Pistons defense to struggle and, with that, inevitably the Over to be the better option. Back OVER 217.5 (-110).
