Detroit Pistons vs Toronto Raptors Prediction: Will the Raptors have no chance of success against Detroit?

Toronto lost both games of the Summer League. Will the Raptors have no chance of success against Detroit? Let's pick a few betting options.

The team from Detroit started the tournament with a confident victory over Orlando - 89:78. Then, in a very effective game, failed to cope with Houston - 101:113.

In general, Detroit is now in the rebuilding stage, so it is not surprising that several players from the main team were announced for the Summer tournament. For example, in the game against Houston, Jaden Ivey scored 22 points, and Jalen Duren scored 23. James Wiseman scored 17 points.

While Detroit has one of the strongest squads at the 2023 Summer Tournament, Toronto has one of the weakest lineups. First, the Raptors lost to Chicago 74:83. Then they lost to Cleveland - 76:99.

Note that only two Toronto players reached the 10-point mark in the game with the Cavaliers. Grady Dick, the 13th pick of last year's draft, and D.J. Hogg, a 26-year-old forward who has never played in the NBA, had 11 points.

Toronto's roster hardly allows them to expect success, and a repeat of the first two matchups in the game against Detroit is quite possible. In the meetings with Chicago and Cleveland, the Canadian team did not even score 80 points, and why should it be different in the match against the Pistons? Unlike its rival, Detroit has quite a capable squad, managed to beat Orlando, and in the match with Houston, effectively responded to the Rockets' fast basketball and lost only because of the phenomenal play of Jabari Smith, who scored 40 points.
