Why the Toronto Raptors will win

  • The home team has won each of the Raptors’ last six games.
  • The Pistons have lost 17 of their last 19 road games against opponents who are on the first leg of a back-to-back.
  • The Raptors have covered the spread in seven of their last eight home games on the first leg of a back-to-back against Eastern Conference opponents.
  • The Pistons have failed to cover the spread in four of their last five night games against Eastern Conference opponents.

Total Points Facts

  • Each of the Raptors’ last 10 home games has gone OVER the total points line.
  • Seven of the Pistons’ last eight road games have gone UNDER the total points line.

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.
