In initial opening lines the Toronto Raptors opened as slight favorites over the Detroit Pistons. Detroit has garnered the attention of bettors thanks to pushing Milwaukee to overtime, and their prior four games were all decided by two points or less. As poor as the Raptors overall record is, they have been excellent at home ATS with four straight covers. Take the Raptors returning home from a five game road trip.

The Raptors are the third worst defensive team in the NBA and they are riddled with injuries again and their games are averaging 234 points. They are 5-0 to the over at home, with scores of 242, 222, 252, 256, 259. Hmm. They are under in 4 straight games but two still went over this total, and 7 of their last 9 overall are over this. Pistons are over in 3 of 4, all 3 totaling 243+. Pistons have scored 115+ in 4 of their last 6.
