We like the Toronto Raptors to defeat the Detroit Pistons on Friday at 7:10pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

The Pistons won their first NBA cup game, some may say by luck. But, we expect them to lose today.

Toronto might be 2-10 this season. But, they have been covering the spread. They are 8-3 versus the spread over their L11 games.

The Raptors have also won five of the L7 games between these two.

Detroit are just 5-15 in their L20 games within the Eastern Conference.

We think that the Raptors play much harder than Detroit and that should pay off at home. This is a very winnable game for them and they must take what's theirs to gain.
