Pistons / Raptors Over 206
The Pistons are off a 107-99 home loss to the Grizzlies, in which Memphis shot 52.1% from the field. Ben Gordon led the Pistons with 25 points off the bench. Detroit should focus on offense here. The Pistons are 8-0 OU (+13.8 ppg) with at most one day of rest after a loss in which they allowed at least 50% from the field and 4-0 OU (+13.1 ppg) when they lost and failed to covered as an underdog in each of their last two games.
Also, Detroit is 4-0 OU (+20.2 ppg) after a loss in which Charlie Villanueva scored fewer than 10 points, 4-0 OU (+7.5 ppg) after a loss in which Tayshaun Prince scored fewer than 10 points and 4-0 OU this season after a loss in which Ben Gordon was the Pistons' high scorer.
The Raptors had beaten the Pistons five straight before their last meeting, in which Detroit won 115-93 as a 5-point dog in Toronto. This revenge situation is a strong OVER indicator. Toronto is 9-0 OU as a favorite when facing a team that covered by double digits against them in their previous same-season meeting at home, flying over by an average of 23.4 ppg.
In their last game, the Raptors lost 104-101 to the Hawks, getting outscored 25-9 from the foul line. This is yet another strong OVER indicator. Toronto is 9-0 OU at home with at most one day of rest after a home loss in which they scored less than 15% of their points from the free throw line, going over by an average of 21.4 ppg.
Finally, it is worth mentioning that the Raptors are 4-0 OU 2008-09 as a favorite after losing the previous matchup at home in which Andrea Bargnani was not the Raptors' high scorer, eclipsing the OU line by an average of 28.1 ppg. Take these two OVER as Toronto should open up a big lead and keep going.
