The Detroit Pistons need a win here to snap a four-game losing streak. The Detroit Pistons are averaging 106.9 points on 44.3 percent shooting and allowing 110.9 points on 47.7 percent shooting. Jerami Grant is averaging 23 points and 4.9 rebounds while Josh Jackson is averaging 12.9 points and 2.1 assists.

The Raptors are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 road games and 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games playing on 0 days rest. The Pistons are 3-9-1 ATS in their last 13 Monday games. The over is 12-5 in Raptors last 17 road games. The over is 4-1 in Pistons last 5 Monday games. The over is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings.
The Toronto Raptors got worse at the NBA trade deadline, Lowry is dealing with a foot injury and now they’re on the end of a back to back. The Detroit Pistons are still losing games, but they’ve been a lot more competitive lately and they only lose at home by an average of 2.3 points. The Pistons also have two wins over the Raptors this month, both wins as bigger underdogs than they are here. I’m just not all that high on the Raptors right now. It’s Pistons and the points or pass for me.
