The Toronto Raptors are in the midst of a cold spell. The team has loss three-of-four, including two consecutive. Part of this undoubtedly is due to a difficult schedule the past couple of games, but with starters in-and-out of the lineup, there is no doubting the Raptors have looked better.
Luckily for the Raptors, their next opponent, the Detroit Pistons, is struggling even worse. The Pistons are losers of five of their last seven and have been reeling since the injury of their starting point guard, Reggie Jackson.
Although they are in a slide, the Pistons still need to be taken very seriously.
