Pistons can clinch a playoff spot with a win over the Raptors
Win and they are in. The Detroit Pistons can secure a playoff spot with a win tonight over the Toronto Raptors (or a loss from the Orlando Magic). It would be nice to see Cade Cunningham on the floor when the Pistons do secure that playoff spot. The Pistons star point guard has missed five consecutive games with a calf contusion, but he has been upgraded to questionable for tonight’s game. The Pistons will definitely be without veteran Tobias Harris, who will miss the game to rest a heel injury. The Raptors, meanwhile, will be without RJ Barrett (rest) and could also be without Scottie Barnes, who has been dealing with a persistent hand injury that has limited his effectiveness of late.
