NBA Same Game Multi Tips
Here are my NBA same game multi tips for the Raptors against the Pistons.
- 1st Leg – Raptors +5.5: The Raptors have proven to be tough opponents when they’re underdogs, covering the line in 10 of their last 13 as a betting underdog. They also come into this home game having covered the line in 7 of their last 10.
- 2nd Leg – Under 221.5: The Under is usually a strong bet with the Pistons elite defence involved. As such, the Under is 14-5 in their last 19. The Under is also 4-1 when these two sides play each other.
