They\u2019ve been beating the terrible teams, including a win last time out against the Knicks (106-89), but the Raptors are losing to everyone else the past month.<\/p>\n
Detroit are just 3-7 in their last 10, but they\u2019ve won two games in a row, which includes a win over the Bulls (107-91) and an overtime win over the Celtics (105-97) this past Sunday night.<\/p>\n
Toronto is relatively healthy, but they may still be without Kyle Lowry tonight. Lowry has missed the last two games and despite practising, he\u2019s questionable for tonight\u2019s game, so watch for the line-ups.<\/p>\n

Vasquez has started in his place and seen over 34+ minutes in the last two games, but he hasn\u2019t produced like I would have thought he would. Lou Williams has also been struggling with his shot lately.<\/p>\n
Williams is just 7 of 32 from the field in the Raptors last 3 games. DeMar DeRozan has been consistent as of late for the Raps, as he has now scored 20+ points in 9 of the last 10 games for Toronto.<\/p>\n
[dfads params=’groups=63727&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n
Valanciunas has stepped it up too, as he now has 3 double-doubles in the Raptors last 4 games. He should have no problem putting up big numbers tonight, as Detroit ranks 30th against defending the C position.<\/p>\n
Detroit is banged up. Jennings is done for the year, Monroe is dealing with a knee injury and Williams has been out with an illness. Monroe and Williams are both questionable tonight, so watch the line-ups.<\/p>\n
If Monroe can\u2019t suit up, the Raptors will have too much of an advantage inside. Amir Johnson isn\u2019t having a great season, but he\u2019s averaging 11.7 PPG and 6.7 RPG against Detroit this season.<\/p>\n
Injuries are hurting Detroit, but Reggie Jackson and Andre Drummond are playing incredibly well. Jackson had a triple-double 3 games ago and he was 1 rebound away from a triple-double in Detroit\u2019s last game.<\/p>\n
Drummond is coming off a big game, as he put up 18 points, 22 rebounds and 4 blocks against Boston on Sunday night.<\/p>\n
[dfads params=’groups=63741&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n
Drummond doesn\u2019t play defense, but he\u2019ll put up a lot of points in the paint on Toronto.<\/p>\n
Free NBA Picks: Toronto Raptors vs. Detroit Pistons<\/h3>\n
Toronto is much better at home (24-12) than on the road (18-16). Toronto plays terrible defense against the PG position and Jackson is likely going to flirt with another triple-double in this match-up.<\/p>\n
Detroit Pistons +2 (-110)<\/b><\/p>\n
I expect both C\u2019s to bang low in the paint and put up big numbers as well. The Raptors know that they\u2019ll win the Atlantic division and they really don\u2019t need to push that hard over these final 12 games.<\/p>\n
