Point Spread: 7.50 | -110.00 Detroit (Home)
Result: Loss
This is an 8* SITUATIONAL DESTRUCTION on the Detroit Pistons.
For a number of different reasons I think that the home side can keep this one close enough to at the very least sneak in through the back door down the stretch with what I feel to be a healthy amount of points afforded to it in this matchup. I believe that Toronto finally comes in a bit complacent here, it's won four straight; conversely, there's no question in my mind that Detroit will be the "hungrier" team tonight as it's looks to avoid a 13th straight home loss, the Pistons worse such run in nearly half a century. I also believe this sets up as a classic "letdown" spot for Toronto which would hammer Brooklyn 105-89 at home on Wednesday, getting some minor revenge after the Nets knocked it out of the playoffs last year. Detroit has lost 11 straight at The Palace of Auburn Hills after falling to Dallas 117-106 on Wednesday. There are now plenty of trade rumors swirling around the Pistons, which will only have Detroit players on their toes in my opinion. This is also a "revenge" spot for the home side after Toronto took all three meetings last year. And with a game vs. the lowly Knicks at home on Sunday, it's hard not to imagine Toronto taking this stretch of play a little lightly. And from a trend based stand point, they don't get much stronger than this, note that the Raptors are a poor 4-7 ATS this year after a win by 10 points or more, while Detroit is 30-15 ATS in its last 45 after scoring 105 points or more. After taking all of the above factors into consideration, there's no question in my mind that the PISTONS are the savvy move here.
