The Raptors are in Detroit to take on the Pistons who are sitting in last place in the Central Division and in the running for a top five pick in the draft. It’s a far cry from where Joe Dumars expected the team to finish after bringing over Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva in an attempt to revitalize the franchise. The Pistons have suffered various injuries to most of the starting lineup throughout the season and never really got a chance to get in a groove. Dumars doesn’t have a lot of cap space to play with but he does have Tayshaun Prince’s $11 million expiring contract and a high draft pick to reload and come back strong next year.
