Detroit Pistons vs Toronto Raptors Prediction

The Toronto Raptors are 11-6 ATS this season, but they are on the end of a back-to-back and have yet to win a game. I need more points to consider the Raptors. The Detroit Pistons are rested at home and need to take advantage of games like this if they want to stay in the playoff conversation. The Pistons defeated the Raptors on the road less than two weeks ago. This feels too soft to consider anything other than the Pistons at home.
