The Pistons are also on a roll, currently on a three-game winning streak following their 126-110 defeat of the Memphis Grizzlies. Ronald Holland II noted the team's resilience during losing periods, emphasizing coach J.B. Bickerstaff's message to stay united. This recent success has solidified Detroit's top position in the Eastern Conference, while Toronto holds seventh place. Jalen Duren, despite a sore right knee, delivered a powerful performance with 30 points, 13 rebounds, and two blocks in the win against Memphis, marking their 48th victory of the season.
Cade Cunningham showcased his playmaking skills with 17 points, 15 assists, and eight rebounds in the Pistons' recent game. He had previously scored 28 points against the Raptors in a prior matchup where Duren was suspended. Caris LeVert also returned to the Pistons lineup after an injury, contributing off the bench. The Raptors, meanwhile, demonstrated grit by overcoming a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter to defeat the Suns. Brandon Ingram led Toronto with 36 points in that game, and Scottie Barnes added 14 points despite playing through illness.
