Premium Pick

Toronto lost a close one to Detroit 102-101 in the last meeting, and now the Raptors catch the Pistons on a two-game losing streak, with both games blowout losses to Cleveland and Utah. Detroit's defense has been almost non-existent as the Cavaliers shot 59.7 percent and the Jazz 46.8 percent, and Detroit was outscored by an average of 23 points in the two games. It was almost as bad on offense as Ish Smith led the Pistons with only 16 points against Utah, and Detroit was only three of 13 from long distance. Toronto has covered the spread six of its last eight games at Detroit, and the road team has covered seven of the last 10 meetings. Take the points and play the Raptors.
