The Toronto Raptors continue to have issues on the defensive side, and they’ve had some bad losses through their first 14 games. However, the Detroit Pistons are a bad team at both ends of the floor, and it usually takes a decent amount of points for me to consider them. This line isn’t that. If the Raptors can’t take care of this game, something is wrong. I’ll lay the chalk.
