The Raptors haven't had any luck so far this summer, dropping to 0-2 with Sunday's 99-76 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Meanwhile, Jalen Duren and Jaden Ivey combining for 45 points wasn't enough to help the Pistons avoid a 113-101 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Raptors vs Pistons Prediction & Pick

The Raptors couldn't get anything going on offense against the Cavaliers. They only shot 34.6% from the floor and 16.1% from the three-point line while never leading for a single second. Toronto is now averaging only 75 PPG in the Summer League, having lost by an average margin of 16 points.

The Pistons are also coming off a loss, but at least they finished their latest outing with .488/.310/.667 shooting splits. Not the best, but still better than the Raptors. Furthermore, Detroit already has a win in Las Vegas this year and has been averaging 95 PPG.

It's hard having faith in a team that just lost by 23 points. The Pistons will get off to an early lead and won't look back en route to defeating the Raptors.

Final Score Prediction: Pistons: 104 | Raptors: 90

Raptors vs Pistons Best Bet

I'm taking the Pistons to cover the spread as the best bet tonight. Detroit's ability to hit its shots will come in handy against an offensively-challenged team like Toronto. The Raptors' minus-16 average scoring margin also makes it more likely that the Pistons will cover as the -4.5 favorite.

Bet: Pistons -4.5 (-110)
