Free Betting Pick: Toronto Raptors -5.5
The Toronto Raptors have played great when they play in Detroit as they have covered the spread in 9 of the last 12 meetings. Detroit is playing on a back-to-back while Toronto hasn’t played since Thursday which tells me they will be fresh for this one. Toronto has the necessary big men to guard Griffin and Drummond, and the depth of Toronto will get to a thin rotation like the Pistons. Toronto wins and covers, 110-102.
