The Pistons are coming into this game as an 8.5 point underdog with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook.The Raptors have been playing well to start the season but they are not an elite team by far and they have played very poorly in their home games this season. Dwane Casey is coming to town and as the old coach of the Raptors he will be fired up for this game. The Pistons will play hard for their coach here and keep this game close as they have to be desperate as well with just 2 wins on the season. The best bet to place in this game is on the Pistons to cover the spread here and keep this a close game.

"He got us going. His ability to attack the paint, get to the rim, then set up his outside shooting was big for us. Not only did he do that, but he also got some rebounds and kept us going in that way. It was a big night for Jerami. Huge night." - Dwane Casey after their win against the Rockets on Wednesday night.

 

 

"It's been in the culture with the Raptors for a while. We just believe in it, talk about it, drill it. We hold guys accountable. I think the biggest metric is your heart and your toughness and your desire to want to do it. Fortunately, our guys most nights will do that." - Nick Nurse on his team never giving up until the games are over.
