Detroit Pistons vs Toronto Raptors

NBA Regular Season

TOR VS DET MATCH PREVIEW:

Detroit Pistons host Toronto Raptors in NBA action on Tuesday morning (IST) at Little Caesars Arena, Detroit.

The last match between these two teams was a humdinger of a match. The game went to overtime and it was Raptors who won the match 121-119 in Detroit. It was the pivotal game for the visitors as the win saw Toronto qualify for the NBA playoff for yet another season. DeMar DeRozan was nothing short of a superhero as the 28-year-old shooting-guard scored an incredible 42 points in that match.

Pistons (38-42) are at 9th in Eastern Conference heading into this match. Only two games remain in the regular season, and with a gap of 4 games between them and 8th placed Washington Wizards, they are out of NBA playoffs.

Meanwhile, Toronto Raptors won the Eastern Conference two games ago. They won it ahead of the teams like 16-times champions Boston Celtics, and the 2016 champion Cleveland Cavaliers. Raptors’ Dwane Casey is rotating heavily in the past few games and is expected to do the same again to keep his squad to its full strength ahead of the all-important playoffs.
