As good as Toronto is in scoring points, they are not good in rebounding (19th in the NBA). That will be a concern against the big Detroit frontcourt that is second in the league in rebounding. Guard D.J. Augustin steps in for injured Brandon Jennings, and the rejuvenated Pistons are on a 12-4 SU and 11-5 ATS run. That includes six wins straight up as a dog. The Pistons are 7-2 ATS in their last nine road games, plus 19-7 ATS on the road against a team with a home winning percentage of greater than .600. Detroit dropped one in Milwaukee last night, but the Pistons are 4-1 ATS playing on no days rest. Toronto (1-5-1 ATS run) is having problems, on a 4-8 SU and 2-9-1 ATS run. They are home from a three-game road trip, and the Raptors are seeking to avoid a three-game home losing streak. They were an 11-point favorite in their last home game over New Orleans and lost 95-93. Take the Points with Detroit, and play the Pistons on the moneyline.
