Pistons vs Raptors Injury Report

Isaiah Stewart and Cade Cunningham are out for the Pistons. Jalen Duren, Duncan Robinson, and Tobias Harris are doubtful. Ausar Thompson is questionable.

Pistons vs Raptors Prediction

I guess the Raptors are underdogs because of their injury report, but this line doesn’t make sense. The Pistons have a lengthy injury report of their own and they’re on the end of a back-to-back with a game that included overtime. The Pistons put a lot of effort into that game and probably should’ve won it late. Expecting to get off the canvas and play again is asking a lot if they don’t get guys back from injury. The Raptors are fighting to keep the fifth seed and stay out of the play-in tournament. Give me the Raptors in a game they should win outright.
