The Toronto Raptors pay a visit to the Detroit Pistons at Little Caesars Arena on Monday night. Here’s a Toronto Raptors vs Detroit Pistons Prediction. This article will include a Toronto Raptors vs Detroit Pistons Pick.
Toronto RaptorsÂ
The Toronto Raptors have been one of the most disappointing teams so far this season, but they look to have moved on from their seven-game losing streak as they are now gunning for a third straight victory after beating the Timberwolves in a 110-105 home win on Thursday. RJ Barrett led the team with 31 points, seven rebounds and three assists on 10 of 14 shooting, Chris Boucher added 22 points off the bench while Scottie Barnes chipped in with 17 points and six assists. As a team, the Raptors shot 51 percent from the field and seven of 23 from the 3-point line as they got off to a decent start and did their best to stay within striking distance, until the fourth quarter where they went on a pivotal 13-1 run to pull away and earn the much-needed victory at home. The Raptors will face the Pelicans following this one.
Detroit PistonsÂ
Meanwhile, the Detroit Pistons have cooled off a bit recently as they are now hoping to snap a three-game slide after getting routed by the Magic in a 111-100 road defeat on Saturday. Jaden Ivey led the team with 19 points, Malik Beasley added 18 points, while Marcus Sasser chipped in with 13 points, but no other player finished in double figures in scoring. As a team, the Pistons shot 46 percent from the field and 13 of 33 from the 3-point line as they worked hard to cut a double-digit deficit to just three points at halftime, only to get blown out in the second half where they trailed by as many as 22 points at one stage.Â

Toronto Raptors vs Detroit Pistons Prediction
The Raptors are still missing some players with Immanuel Quickley and Kelly Olynyk still out, while the Pistons are still missing Cade Cunningham. The Raptors look like they are turning a corner as they’ve looked like a different team over their past two wins, while the Pistons have struggled lately and they just got smashed by a shorthanded Magic team. I understand why the Pistons are favored at home in this spot, but while they’re still shorthanded, I would prefer a play on the Raptors with the points in a game they could win outright.Â
