Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Full-Time Result – Handicap (-7.5) for Raptors – 1.75.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Match Points Over 216.5 – 1.80.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Three – Pistons’ Points Over 104.5 – 1.87.
The Detroit Pistons have beaten the Toronto Raptors twice this season. It’s time for revenge. All the more so because the Raptors have been playing very well in recent games. Nick Nurse’s men beat the Brooklyn Nets recently. We think the Pistons will meet the same fate.
The Detroit Pistons have improved significantly in recent games. Dwayne Casey’s team is now regularly scoring over 100 points. Given the success of the visitors, we think the encounter will be productive.
In the last four games, the Pistons scored over 103.5 points.
The Toronto Raptors have lost five of their last eight regular-season games.
After two defeats, the Canadiens were able to improve the situation a little. Nick Nurse’s men managed to defeat the Brooklyn Nets twice. The Raptors defeated the Nets 133-97 on the road and 109-108 at home. Those successes allowed them to retain a seventh place in the East.

It’s worth noting that the Toronto Raptors played their last games without Fred VanVleet and OG Anunoby. It’s likely that they won’t be on the court in this meeting either. That shouldn’t affect the Raptors’ play. After all, Gary Trent Jr., Pascal Siakam and Scottie Barnes are too good right now.
Detroit Pistons:
The Detroit Pistons have won 3 of their last 5 regular-season games, but they are still in last place in the Eastern Conference. The Detroit Pistons understand that they will not make the playoffs this season. That has only made things easier for them. Casey’s men have been playing well recently. They defeated the Boston Celtics (112-111), Cleveland Cavs (106-103) and Charlotte Hornets (127-126).

It’s not impossible that we’ll see a very different Detroit next season. The leaders will probably move on to other teams. Jeremy Grant, Saddiq Bay and Cade Cunningham may well leave the Motor City.
