Pistons at Raptors picks and predictions

Prediction

Raptors 127, Pistons 108

Moneyline

PASS.

The Raptors (-575) should win, but there is no need to risk almost 6 times your potential profit on the moneyline when Toronto should win by margin. Bet the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

BET RAPTORS -11.5 (-105).

Detroit coach Dwane Casey is 7-0 ATS vs. his former team in the last 7 meetings, but he may have lost his edge over his former assistant and current Raptors coach Nick Nurse.

The Pistons got somewhat lucky in the most recent meeting and needed G Jaden Ivey to hit a 3-pointer with less than 10 seconds remaining to cover against a Raptors team that was missing its 3 leading scorers in F Pascal Siakam, G Fred VanVleet and G Gary Trent Jr.

With the Raptors almost at full strength Sunday and extra focused coming off a bad loss, the Pistons should struggle to keep it close and will be due for a letdown after an improbable comeback win in double overtime on Friday.

Over/Under

BET OVER 227.5 (-115).

The Over is 4-1 in Detroit’s last 5 games vs. teams with a losing record and 5-2 in Toronto’s last 7 after a loss. The Over has hit in 7 of Toronto’s last 10 games vs. teams with a winning percentage below .400 and is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings between these teams.
