Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #3 – Raptors Points Under 120.5 – 1.725.
The Canadiens are doing well on their home court. They’ve won five of their last eight home games. It’s unlikely that crisis-ridden Detroit will be able to cause problems for Nick Nurse’s team.
In the previous encounter, the teams scored just 226 points. It is unlikely that they will be more productive now. The Raptors have a good defence, while the Pistons are not the best offensively. We don’t think they’ll be able to break the 230.5-point mark.
The Canadians have not scored more than 120 points in their last four games.
After three straight victories, the Toronto Raptors lost on home soil to the Utah Jazz (116-122). Pascal Siakam had 35 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists in that game.
Prior to that, the Raptors managed to outscore the San Antonio Spurs (112-98), Memphis Grizzlies (106-103) and Houston Rockets (117-111).
The Toronto Raptors are in 11th place in their conference. The team has 26 wins under its belt and 31 defeats on the road.
The Raptors have scored 117 points or less (71%) in 20 of their 28 home games.
The Pistons’ management has set its sights on another renewal of the team. The rebuilding has already begun. Most recently, the Pistons released Saddiq Bey to Atlanta.
It’s happening. The Detroit Pistons broke a three-game losing streak. In a crazy game against the San Antonio Spurs, they had to play two overtime periods. Thus, the Pistons defeated their opponent (138-131). The regular time ended in a draw (113-113).
Bojan Bogdanovic made a contribution to the victory. The Detroit forward scored 32 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist.
In the East, the Detroit Pistons are in last place with 15 wins and 42 losses.
15 of 21 away defeats have a point gap of at least eight points (71%).
In our opinion, the teams will take to the field with the following line-ups:
Toronto Raptors: Fred VanVleet – Gary Trent Jr. – Pascal Siakam – Scottie Barnes – Precious Achiuwa.
Detroit Pistons: Killian Hayes – Jaden Ivey – Bojan Bogdanović – Isaiah Stewart – Jalen Duren.
O.G. Anunoby (Out) and Otto Porter Jr. (Out) are injured for the Toronto Raptors.
Cade Cunningham (Out), Marvin Bagley III (Out), Nerlens Noel (Out) and James Wiseman (Day-to-day) are injured for the Detroit Pistons.
The fixture will be played at Scotiabank Arena (19.800) in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
