Pistons vs. Raptors preview

The Raptors are coming into this game having won their last two games against the Chicago Bulls and Indiana Pacers at home, two teams that are currently in the lottery section of the Eastern Conference standings. The Pistons couldn't be further from that as they sit in first place going into the All-Star break. It should provide much more of a challenge for the Raptors to pull out this one.

The Raptors' chances of winning might have gone up after the Pistons were involved in a brawl in their last game against the Charlotte Hornets. Both Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart were ejected from the contest and could face further discipline from the league.

The fight caught attention for every team in the league and showed the ugly side of what the NBA can be, but it also shows how competitive things can get especially as stakes rise later in the season. Things will get heated between teams, but it's those who remain calm under pressure who will rise above.

In the final game before the All-Star break, the Raptors will be charged and ready to go in hopes of picking up a possible statement victory against one of the best teams in the league.
