Raptors Rising -- Pointspreads' Daily Betting Notes: Tuesday, Mar. 2nd

Stat of the Day:  The Detroit Pistons have lost 11/14 games and play the Toronto Raptors tonight, who are one of the hottest teams in the league – winners of 10/15 and covers in 9/13.

Fans and gamblers have an attractive card to examine on Tuesday.  8 games are happening in the NHL.  The NBA features 6 games.  All of these games take place this evening.  

For many of us, the Toronto Raptors, now at the .500 mark with a 17-17 W-L record for the first time this season after a horrible start, will get our attention when they take the court against the horrid Detroit Pistons.  The Raptors are laying -9, the biggest number they've been favoured by all season.  A win tonight gives Toronto a winning record for the first time in 2021.

The previous Raptors game (Toronto vs. Chicago) was postponed two days ago due to COVID protocols.

Here are the latest odds at SPREADS.CA, along with some notable angles and trends to keep in mind when making your bets on the action:
