We don’t believe in a home win for the Pistons. Their line-up is pretty mediocre, so it’s no surprise that the squad is losing to everyone. The Raptors must get a win from Detroit.
The Pistons have a big problem with their offensive game. In the last game, for example, Casey’s men scored only 106 points. It’s unlikely to change much now. The Pistons are missing some players, so we doubt the game will be productive against the Raptors.
The Detroit Pistons have just one win over the San Antonio Spurs (138-1131) in their last seven games. In the game against the Raptors, it will be difficult to claim victory. If they do win, it will be because the Canadian team has not had match practice all week.
In the last game they lost, the club from Michigan fell just short of beating the Orlando Magic (108-106). Ivey was the Pistons’ best scorer, sinking 25 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists into the basket.
The Pistons are currently in last place in the conference with 15 wins and 45 losses. The last two head-to-head games against the Raptors have been lost.
The Pistons are averaging 112.3 points per game this season.
The Toronto Raptors are having a very good stretch of the season and have a three-game winning streak in a row.
In the last game, the Canadian club managed to beat the New Orleans Pelicans. Pascal Siakam was the club’s top scorer, putting up 26 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists around the basket.
The Toronto Raptors are now in unhappy ninth place in the conference and their prospects of making the playoffs are very real. However, for that to happen, the Raptors need to take on Detroit without too many questions.
With their latest success, the Raptors dropped the Wizards from ninth place in the East. Another success, perhaps, will allow them to catch up with Atlanta.
The Raptors are averaging 113.3 points per game this season.
In our opinion, the teams will take to the field with the following line-ups:
Detroit Pistons: Killian Hayes – Jaden Ivey – Bojan Bogdanović – Isaiah Stewart – Jalen Duren.
Toronto Raptors: Fred VanVleet – Scottie Barnes – Pascal Siakam – Precious Achiuwa – Jakob Poeltl.
Cade Cunningham (Out), Marvin Bagley III (Out), Nerlens Noel (Out) and Jalen Duren (Day-to-day) are listed as injured for the Detroit Pistons.
Fred VanVleet (Out) and Otto Porter Jr. (Out) are listed as injured for the Toronto Raptors.
The fixture will be played at Accor Arena (20.300) in Paris, France.
This starting whistle will sound on the 7th of February, 2023, at 17:00 UK Time.
