What to Know

The Detroit Pistons will head out on the road to face off against the Toronto Raptors at 4:00 p.m. ET on Sunday at Scotiabank Arena. The Pistons have now lost ten straight, and the team is hunting for their first win since October 28.

The Pistons traveled a rocky road last season, and unfortunately for them the road hasn't gotten any smoother. They fell 108-100 to Cleveland on Friday. The Pistons have not had much luck with the Cavaliers recently, as the team's come up short the last five times they've met.

Even though they lost, the Pistons were smashing the offensive glass and finished the game with 18 offensive rebounds (they're ranked fifth in offensive rebounds per game overall). They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as the Cavaliers only pulled down seven.

Meanwhile, it was a hard-fought match, but Toronto had to settle for a 108-105 loss against Boston on Friday. The Raptors have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.

The losses dropped Detroit to 2-11 and Toronto to 5-7.

This contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: The Pistons have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 46.5 rebounds per game. However, it's not like the Raptors struggle in that department as they've been averaging 46.4 per game. Given these competing strengths, it'll be interesting to see how their clash plays out. Come back here after the game to find expert analysis of the match and other NBA content.

The Pistons might still be hurting after the devastating 118-97 loss they got from the Raptors in their previous matchup back in March. Can the Pistons avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
