Pistons vs Raptors NBA Preview
Under 222.5
Action PRO projects the total for today's matchup between the Pistons and Raptors at over/under 218 total points, providing a solid 5.4% on the Under at 222.5 total points, which is good enough to make it a B-graded play in our system.
This line appears to be a bit inflated due to the fact that the Pistons have scored 126+ points in three straight games.
However, the Pistons rank 15th in pace, and they are only averaging 117.4 points per game on the season.
So, that number will likely come back down to earth in the near future.
Today might just be the perfect day for it to happen too, as the Pistons draw a pace-down spot against a Raptors team that ranks 21st in pace and 22nd in points scored per game.
The Raptors have scored 107 points or less in five of their last nine games.
This should be a good spot to back the Under.
