The Toronto Raptors are fifth in the conference and 7-3 in their last 10. However, those losses came against Minnesota, Orlando, and New York, all of which featured double-digit second-half collapses.
The Detroit Pistons will present similar problems. They have the best record in the East and are the only team with a better net rating than Oklahoma City.
This is a matchup of Top 10 defensive teams, but Detroit also has a Top 10 offense, while Toronto lacks efficiency, ranking 18th in effective field goal percentage.

No Duren means Raptors center Sandro Mamukelashvili should have some more room to work in the paint. Mamukelashvili is averaging 15.5 points over his last 12 games, going Over 12.5 points nine times in that stretch.
