The Detroit Pistons and Toronto Raptors meet Tuesday in NBA action at the Amalie Arena.

The Detroit Pistons need a win after losing six of their last seven games. The Detroit Pistons are averaging 107.5 points on 43.8 percent shooting and allowing 112 points on 47.9 percent shooting. Jerami Grant is averaging 23.4 points and 5.3 rebounds while Josh Jackson is averaging 13.5 points and 1.9 assists. Blake Griffin is the third double-digit scorer and Delon Wright is grabbing 4.6 rebounds. The Detroit Pistons are shooting 34.7 percent from beyond the arc and 77.7 percent from the free throw line. The Detroit Pistons are allowing 37.6 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 42.7 rebounds per game.

The Toronto Raptors look for a win after winning 10 of their last 15 games. The Toronto Raptors are averaging 112.9 points on 45.2 percent shooting and allowing 110.4 points on 45.2 percent shooting. Fred VanVleet is averaging 20.1 points and 4.4 rebounds while Pascal Siakam is averaging 20.1 points and 4.8 assists. Kyle Lowry is the third double-digit scorer and Norman Powell is grabbing three rebounds. The Toronto Raptors are shooting 38.3 percent from beyond the arc and 83.2 percent from the free throw line. The Toronto Raptors are allowing 37.2 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 41.9 rebounds per game.

The Pistons are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games as an underdog and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games overall. The Raptors are 6-14 ATS in their last 20 home games and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall. The under is 6-1 in Pistons last 7 overall. The over is 11-5 in Raptors last 16 overall. The over is 19-7-1 in the last 27 meetings in Toronto.

The Detroit Pistons simply aren't a good basketball team and you shouldn't be looking to back them much these days, especially on the road where they lose by an average of 7.3 points while allowing 49.3 percent shooting from the field. The Toronto Raptors are playing their best ball of the season and they beat the Pistons by 13 points back in January when they weren't playing well. The Raptors are 5-3 against the spread when favored by five or more points. Big number, but I'll lay it to avoid backing the Pistons.
