The Toronto Raptors will play host to the Detroit Pistons at the Scotiabank Arena in the NBA on Friday night. The Raps (28-49) are 11th in the Eastern Conference, while the Pistons (42-34) are sixth. Let’s get into the match prediction.
The Toronto Raptors will be hoping for a bounce back here after dropping to 4-6 in 10 last night when they were beaten 112-103 at home by the Portland Trail Blazers.
Despite taking a lead into halftime and forcing 25 turnovers in the match, Toronto shipped 36 points in the third quarter, which wiped out their lead, and they were never able to catch back up.
The Raps are now averaging 110.6 points per game this season (23rd in the league), while allowing 115.2 PPG (19th overall).
Meanwhile, the Detroit Pistons will also be hoping to return to the win column in this match after conceding their second successive defeat on Wednesday, 119-103 against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
On a poor shooting night, Detroit converted just 40% of their shots from the field and 10 of 33 from the three-point line. They leaked 41 points in the first quarter and were fighting an uphill battle from then on.
The Pistons are 11th in the scoring charts, averaging 115.4 points per game, and they allow 113.2 PPG, which ranks 14th on the defensive end.

Our Toronto Raptors vs Detroit Pistons Prediction
While the Pistons are the better side coming into this contest and have the rest advantage, this line still feels a little too hefty for our liking, especially given that Jaden Ivey and Tobias Harris are out and Cade Cunningham is questionable.
The Raps are also missing players in Brandon Ingram, Immanuel Quickley and Jakob Poeltl, but they continue to smash lines, covering in seven of the last 10, while their 46-30-1 ATS record for the season is the second-best in the NBA. Therefore, our Toronto Raptors vs Detroit Pistons prediction is Toronto Raptors +12.5.
If your team in the Toronto Raptors and Detroit Pistons game takes a 20-point lead, you win!
