The Toronto Raptors (26-31) play the Detroit Pistons (15-42) this afternoon at Scotiabank Arena... but don’t let those season records fool you. Detroit has won six of the last seven games between these two teams, the sole win coming from the Raptors this past November — snapping a six game losing streak to the Detroit Pistons.
There is history between these two teams, as Pistons head coach Dwane Casey was Raptors head coach Nick Nurse’s predecessor. Though, Nick Nurse will miss tonight’s game due to personal reasons.
The Raptors come off this game having lost their last game to the Utah Jazz on Friday night.
