Detroit Pistons and Toronto Raptors will face off in a regular season game of the 2024/25 NBA season, in an Eastern Conference clash. The match, which will take place at the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, is scheduled for this Monday (25th) at 9 PM (Brasília time). The Pistons are looking to take advantage of the Raptors’ fatigue to get back to winning after three losses.

Our Predictions: Detroit Pistons to Win

The Detroit Pistons are coming off a loss to the Orlando Magic on Saturday. Meanwhile, the Toronto Raptors played yesterday against the Cleveland Cavaliers and came up short. Despite not being in the best form, Detroit has the advantage of facing the worst visitor of the season, who also had less than 24 hours of rest. Therefore, the prediction is for a Pistons victory.

This line becomes quite interesting for two main reasons. The Detroit Pistons have already won the head-to-head this season in Canada. Additionally, as mentioned above, the Toronto Raptors are dealing with the burden of playing back-to-back games and have lost all their away games. Hence, the recommendation is to bet on the Asian handicap market.
