Betting on the Detroit Pistons
- Regular Season Record: 15-42.
The Pistons stopped a three-game losing streak in its tracks by defeating the Spurs in a battle royale that stretched into two overtimes and lasted nearly three hours.
The key to this game for Detroit was that for the first time in its last four games it managed to surpass the 100 points, a situation that should not be surprising since it is the sixth-lowest scoring team per game with 111.8.
Also, San Antonio is the quintet that receives the most points per game in the NBA, so the Pistons’ offensive explosion should not be taken as an awakening, since they actually shot 43% from the field and just 18.9% from long distance.
On the defensive side of the ball, Detroit is second to the Spurs in average points conceded per game with 119.6, and it also trails San Antonio in the opponent’s field goal percentage with a very high 49.4%.
Betting on the Toronto Raptors
- Regular Season Record: 26-31.
The Raptors let their fourth win in a row slip away with a fourth period to be forgotten, in which they were outscored 39-20 by Utah.
With this loss, Toronto drops out of the Play-in spots, dropping to 11th place in the Eastern Conference and a half-game behind the Wizards.
The last time the Raptors allowed more than 120 points was ten days ago in their visit to the Jazz, a game that was their last loss before starting the string of three wins.
Toronto depends a lot on what its defense does, so when it receives this amount of points, it gets very complicated for the team to win. Nick Nurse’s team is the tenth-lowest scoring team in the league with an average of 112.2 goals per game, but its 113.0 points scored is the twelfth lowest in the league.
