Command Analysis
Detroit Pistons
USACurrent form
The Pistons have had a tough road to finally find stability. The team climbed to eighth place in the Eastern Conference thanks to a five-game winning streak, including solid performances against Brooklyn (113-98) and Miami (115-102). However, they were unable to maintain their winning streak, and in their final game, Detroit lost to Golden State (104-107). Cade Cunningham was the real star of the game, scoring an impressive 32 points, but it was not enough to ensure overall success.
J.B. Bickerstaff coaching staff is analyzing their mistakes and preparing to approach the upcoming game better prepared. The Pistons have been solid at home, and the game against Toronto, which is in crisis, looks like a great opportunity to get back on track. Cade Cunningham continues to be a key player, and the steady support from the bench gives the team motivation.
Disqualifications and injuries
Jaden Ivey will not be able to help the team due to health problems.
Interesting facts for betting
The Pistons have won the last four head-to-head games.
Projected lineup: Harris - Hardaway, Duren - Beasley, Cunningham.
Toronto Raptors
CanadaCurrent form
The Raptors continue to disappoint their fans. The team is stuck in the penultimate place in the Eastern Conference, and a series of four defeats has only worsened the situation. The Canadian club lost a series of games against Milwaukee (104:128), Cleveland (126:132) and Orlando (97:106). The offensive line shows extremely inconsistent results, and the defense is not coping with the tasks set.
Toronto head coach Darko Rajkovic is looking for ways to get the team back on track, but so far the scoring has been low. The lack of individual performances and team chemistry has left the Raptors vulnerable, especially on the road. The meeting with Detroit is a chance to at least try to break the losing streak, but it will be extremely difficult.
Disqualifications and injuries
Bruce Brown continues to recover in the infirmary, so we won't see him on the court in the next game.
Interesting facts for betting
In the last five matches, the reptiles have only won one victory.
Probable lineup: Barnes - Barrett, Peltle - Quickley, Dick.

1.93Tip and bets
Toronto has not been able to withstand the competition this season, and now the club is firmly established in the penultimate place in the Eastern Conference. A series of defeats knocks the Raptors out of the race for a place in the playoffs, and the current state of the team leaves much to be desired. In contrast, Detroit shows a more confident game and has a real chance to strengthen its position. The latest failure in the match against Golden State only motivates the team, which will be determined to rehabilitate itself in front of its fans.
In our opinion, the Pistons have everything they need to win confidently. Cade Cunningham is in great shape and ready to lead the team, and the home court will be an additional factor in the hosts' favor.
Our prediction is Detroit victory with a handicap of (-3.5) points for 1.72
Bet on total
Detroit has shown persistence in recent games, but it is clear that the team is spending a lot of energy, which affects the attacking potential. Toronto is also not distinguished by a stable game in attack, especially in away games. Given the current condition of both teams, we assume that the total will not be broken.
Betting Tip - total under 232.5 points for 1.72
Bet on statistics
The Raptors are experiencing another slump. The team is experiencing difficulties both in attack and defense, which is reflected in the results. Given the weak form and inconsistent play of the Canadians, we assume that the visitors will not be able to break their individual total in this match.
Prediction - Toronto individual total under 112.5 points for 1.90
