On the season the Pistons are 15-22 ATS and they have an O/U record of 16-20-1 and the Raptors are 20-16 ATS and they have an Under record of 22-14.

In their last games the Pistons beat the Brooklyn Nets 98-93 and the Raptors beat the Boston Celtics 109-96.
Since the Pistons parted ways with Josh Smith they have won 8 of 9 games and have looked like a different team. Since releasing the high-priced Smith the Pistons have played much better on both sides of the ball, but are still 6-point road underdogs north of the border tonight facing a Raptors team that is 5-5 in their last 10 games.
The Raptors have won 4 straight over the Pistons.
The Pistons have won their last 5 road games.

While the Pistons are rolling the same cannot be said about the Raptors, who snapped their 4-game losing streak with a W in their last game. Still, Toronto has the 2nd best record in the Eastern Conference.
The Raptors have struggled on defense this season only ranking 21st in opponents’ points allowed, but they are the 3rd highest scoring team in the league. Kyle Lowry leads the team in scoring and Toronto has 5 players that are averaging over 11 points per game.
The Pistons rank 17th in the league on defense, but have played mush better on that side of the floor as of late. They have to key on playing solid perimeter D tonight, as the 3 leading scorers for the Raptors are guards.
PF Greg Monroe leads the Pistons in scoring and rebounding and is coming off a 17 rebound game and 2nd leading scorer G Brandon Jennings scored 20 points in Detroit’s win over the Nets.
The Raptors beat the Pistons 110-100 when these teams met in the middle of last month and the game was a testy one with 4 technical founds and 1 flagrant foul.

The Pistons have to play solid D to win tonight, as there offense is playing well lately, but they still only rank 22nd in the league in points per game.
