Toronto Raptors vs Detroit Pistons Prediction
The Detroit Pistons have been more successful up to this point, and it makes the points worth a look. However, the Pistons are possibly going to be without Tim Hardaway Jr. and Jaden Ivey. Also, despite the Raptors injuries, they’re 8-4 ATS on the season. Five of the Raptors eight losses have been decided by six or fewer points. A bounce here or a bounce there, and the Raptors are in a much better position. At some point, something good has to happen for the Raptors. At home, I’ll lay the bucket.
