Cunningham will get to tie up some G League defenders and have plenty of chances to get his shot off or drive himself to score. Already has a 30-point game against Toronto this season and over the last 10 games is leading a more solid Pistons team in many ways and averaging 30 P+R along the way.

I love this spot for Duren, against a team that can't defend the interior and allows a lot of second-chance opportunities and is getting wiped out on the boards. Perfect time to pad the stats and build confidence. He had 35 in 34 minutes against Toronto earlier this season and that was a far superior version of the Raptors and the Pistons weren't playing as well as a team. Plenty of lobs from Cade Cunningham for easy buckets. Can pound the ball in the post.

Toronto is allowing 51 opposing rebounds/G this month, dead last in the NBA, as injuries have crumbled their lineup. The Pistons are young and hungry and even if they get a decent lead here, their top dogs are gonna play big minutes. Jokes just grabbed 17 rebounds against TOR last time out. Yanking 15+ for a talented is big is hardly out of the question (I'll dabble in alt markets). Duren has 17 earlier this season against the Raptors, and that was before their injuries struck. He's more of a 10 rebound guy, but I project at least a 3 rebound bump in this instance given who he is facing and when and where he is facing them.

We continue to fade the Raptors woes - particularly around the goal - in a multitude of ways. AS they continue to hemorrhage rebounds and 2nd chance and paint points, opposing assist totals are soaring as well vs the undermanned team. TOR allowing 31 opposing assists/G in March (29th). Cunningham has a 12 assist game against them already and is over this in 4 straight and 8 of the last 11. Toronto has remained spry early in some of these games but a total collapse is coming as the word tanking is being thrown around and this could hit, honestly, in the first half.

Toronto is fielding a G League team and the Pistos are probably licking their lips. Raptors played the best first half they could have ever hoped for at Denver and built a massive lead and still lost handily. They are on fumes on this road trip. Detroit is 6-3 ATS in their last 9 and has won 2 of the last 3 at home. Pistons beat a full-strength Raptors squad at home earlier this season. Gonna be a long final 6 weeks or so for Toronto

The Raptors appear to be in full tank mode with three starters out in RJ Barrett, Scottie Barnes and Jakob Poeltl (the latter two are legit hurt and out longer term) and the other two, Immanuel Quickley and Gary Trent, questionable. They have lost four straight and six of seven. Top reserve Chris Boucher is also out. Detroit has won two of three games for the only the third time this season and ended its NBA-record-tying 28-game losing streak vs. Toronto in late December in the last meeting.
