Raptors vs Pistons Injury Report

The Pistons will be without Jaden Ivey and Tobias Harris, while Cade Cunningham is questionable.

Raptors vs Pistons Prediction

This line is crazy when you consider the Pistons are dealing with injuries to key players and have failed to cover seven of their last 10 games. The Raptors have nothing to play for, but they continue to compete, and they’re one of the best cover teams in the NBA with a 46-30-1 ATS record. We’ve been backing the Raptors all year, and it continues to pay off.

We’re also not used to seeing the Pistons in the massive favorite role, as this will be just the ninth time since 2019 where they’re double-digit favorites. No Harris and a banged up Cunningham who is questionable at the time of this writing. Give me the Raptors and the points.
