Raptors show quality basketball, but in games against contenders, they can't compete yet. In the previous four games, Toronto has three losses - twice to Boston (94:117 and 105:108) and Milwaukee (112:128). This is an indicator of the level of the team today.
The Raptors are 5-7 overall and a position outside the play-in zone in the East. At the same time, it should be noted that the team plays good defense - 110.7 passing points per game on average and ninth place in the league by this indicator.
Detroit Pistons
The Pistons are the last team in the Eastern Conference with a 2-11 balance. By the looks of it, Detroit will not be a contender for tournament challenges in Monty Williams' first season as head coach.
Ahead of the meeting with Toronto, the Pistons played away against Cleveland, failed to prove themselves on offense, and lost 100:108. This is Detroit's tenth consecutive defeat.
Expert Betting Tips
Detroit has a young, talented team that has yet to learn how to win games. The Pistons' 11th straight loss on the road to Toronto would not be surprising. Raptors, just the opposite, is made up of experienced performers and is already capable of fighting for high places. Only the 11th position of Darko Rajakovic's team in the East looks unfair, and, quite possibly, after the meeting with the Pistons, the Canadiens' performance will be a little better. We bet on a solid win for Toronto in a game that is not the most efficient - Detroit is currently only 25th on offense, while the Raptors are in the top 10 in defensive efficiency.
