Raptors at Pistons picks and predictions

Prediction

Pistons 120, Raptors 115

Moneyline

PASS.

The Pistons have won 2 of their last 3 at home while the Raptors have lost 4 straight, including 1 to the Portland Trail Blazers. However, Detroit is just too expensive to play on the moneyline.

Against the spread

BET PISTONS -3.5 (-110).

Detroit has covered in 3 of its last 4 games and in 6 of its last 9. It has wins over the Brooklyn Nets and Charlotte Hornets over its last 3 games, and it is the far healthier side.

The Raptors are just too banged up, missing their 2 top scoring options in this game and potentially numerous more. They have lost 6 of their last 7 and failed to cover in 3 of their last 5 games as an underdog.

Considering the trends, take PISTONS -3.5 (-110).

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 233.5 (-110).

The Raptors have allowed 120 or more points in 4 straight games and have gone Over in 3 of them. They are 34-31 O/U on the season. While injuries have plagued them, they are still scoring, notching at least 113 in 3 straight games as well.

The Pistons have gone Over in 3 of their last 4 games, scoring at least 114 in each of their last 3. Detroit has a healthy and young team that should be able to push the pace.

Back OVER 233.5 (-110).
