Without Jalen Duren on Isaiah Stewart in the lineup tonight after the league handed down their respective suspensions for Monday night's fight, the Detroit Pistons travel to Toronto today for an Eastern Conference battle against the Raptors.
At 32-22 this season, the Raptors are well on the path to the postseason, so tonight will be another test for the Pistons without two of their top big men. But even without Beef Stew and JD, Detroit was able to dispatch the league's hottest team in Charlotte on Monday, so the Pistons should carry some momentum into tonight's matchup.
Ron Holland II is also slated to miss the game due to personal reasons, so Paul Reed is going to have a lot of responsibility for the Pistons tonight.
This is the Pistons' last game before the All-Star Break, so Detroit fans won't have to wait too long before JD returns to the hardwood. The Raptors have a pair of All-Stars on their squad as well in Brandon Ingram and Scottie Barnes, so expect another heated contest tonight in Canada.
