Technically, the Detroit Pistons have been better recently than the Toronto Raptors. The Pistons are an even 5-5 over their last 10 games, whereas the Raptors have just managed four wins during that stretch. Despite the edge, the Raptors still look far better heading into Sunday’s clash, going against a Pistons squad that is doing about as well (or as badly) as it was expected to do.
The Pistons are a team with a ton of okay guys but few stand-outs. Their 25-29 record is good enough for the last playoff spot in the Eastern Conference as of now, but not much more.
