*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, on Thursday, March 23rd,. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Friday, March 24th.
Detroit Pistons
Of all the tanking teams the Pistons are the one squad that doesn’t seem invested in trying to win some games to close out the season and use it as a building block.
The difference in this match is Dwane Casey still harbors resentment for being fired and always tries to inspire his club to beat the Raptors.

Toronto Raptors
Wednesday, Toronto sorely missed Scottie Barnes, Gary Trent Jr., and Precious Achiuwa, particularly on defense and playmaking.
Indy was already potentially the worst matchup for the Raptors given their plethora of guards which was why I took the points and noted the possibility of the sweep in the preview.
Detroit was that team the past two seasons sweeping the season series but this year it’s been the Raps who are in line for the series sweep.
Stats
On offense, the Raptors score 112.9 points per game ranking 21st while shooting 45.7% from the field and 33.8% from the perimeter ranking 27th and 28th respectively.
Meanwhile, defensively, the Raptors allow 112.2 points per game ranking sixth best with opponents shooting 49.3% from the field and 37.6% from deep ranking 28th and 29th respectively.
Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Otto Porter Jr., SF (OUT for season, — foot)
- Gary Trent Jr. SG (questionable—elbow)

Free Detroit Pistons vs. Toronto Raptors NBA Prediction:
Wednesday’s loss halted a seven-game home win streak for Toronto and while I expect them to get back in the win column in this match I’m not confident they’ll cover the spread given Casey’s vindetta.
