Pistons vs. Raptors Preview
The Raptors are 29-19 (60%) ATS after a loss. Despite tanking, they are 14-8 ATS after the All-Star break. Toronto is 18-13 ATS after losing the last matchup to their opponent. Nothing like taking a tanking team on a back-to-back in April.
But here’s the reality: the Raptors have been an ATS wagon. They are the perfectly built tank squad: good enough to hang, but with any maneuvering (some obvious, like benching starters late in the 4th), they can get the loss.
The Pistons are obviously a great ATS team and have been rolling for months. Although this is a lot of points to lay against a team that isn't named the Hornets or Jazz.
Toronto has only been a home double-digit dog six times this season (3-3), and two of those ATS losses were to the Cavaliers and Thunder. Detroit’s not in that tier. I don’t mind taking an SGP of Toronto +11.5 + Detroit moneyline here, which comes out to +170 at BetMGM.
