The Toronto Raptors, who are a solid 7-3 away from home so far this year, will be visiting the Detroit Pistons on Friday. Toronto seemed to enjoy playing the Pistons last season, sweeping their three-game series against them.
In their last game, the Raptors were able to pick up their fourth straight win when they routed the Brooklyn Nets 105-89 at home. They made 51.3 percent of their field goal attempts in that win and only turned the ball over nine times.
The Raptors are in the bottom 10 in the NBA in rebounding, but they are also one of the top three scoring teams in the league. Through 26 games, point guard Kyle Lowry has been Toronto’s best player by averaging 19.6 points and 7.8 assists per game.
On Wednesday night, the Pistons lost their second game in a row when the Dallas Mavericks beat them 117-106 in Detroit. They were outrebounded 45-42 in that loss and allowed the Mavs to shoot 50.6 percent from the field.
