Toronto Raptors vs. Detroit Pistons Prediction
This line has flipped towards the Detroit Pistons as the Raptors have half their roster on the injury report. The Raptors feel like a team in tank mode, with losses piling up and players injured. The Detroit Pistons have been competitive lately despite the lack of results, and they have won 2 of their last 3 games. The Pistons have the court and health on their side for this game, unlike the Raptors. I’ll score the points with the Pistons if I have to pick this blah game.
