Neither team is particularly strong defensively. Although the Pistons narrowly lost to the Warriors last game due to a missed three-pointer, their team’s fighting spirit on the court was evident. The Raptors are currently in good health with Barnes and Barrett both performing well, and they can lead the rest of the team in offensive surges during the game. Facing a Raptors team focused on the future, the Pistons’ offensive characteristics give them a significant advantage. The fast pace of the game is a hallmark of the Raptors. Expect a high-scoring affair between these two teams.
