The Pistons are rolling, plain and simple. They’ve won 10 straight, including a 118-103 thrashing of the Celtics last week, and Cade Cunningham is playing like an MVP candidate, averaging 28 points and 9 assists over that stretch. Toronto, on the other hand, just lost a tough one at home to the Pacers, 114-107, and they’ve dropped three of their last five.
The key matchup will be how Scottie Barnes handles Jaden Ivey. Ivey's speed has been a problem for slower guards all season, and Barnes has struggled with quickness defensively at times. Detroit's bench depth, led by Alec Burks, also gives them an edge against a Raptors unit that often goes cold. This one won't be close. Pistons win, 125-108.
