The Detroit Pistons have lost three straight and eight of their last 10. They're 1-9 ATS during that stretch. You really would expect more from a team fighting for a playoff berth (entering this game 4 1/2 games behind eighth-place Miami with 18 to play), but here we are. The Toronto Raptors meanwhile are currently the beast of the east, sitting atop the Eastern Conference and coming off five straight triumphs (4-1 ATS). The Raptors will be playing on no rest following a 106-90 win over Atlanta at home Tuesday night, but they didn't need to waste much energy in that contest.

Raptors are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. Pistons are a pathetic 6-20 ATS in their last 26 games overall. Raptors are 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings in Detroit.

My selection is an 8* play on Toronto Raptors.
