Game 51: Raptors at Pistons

We're back after a West Coast road trip where the Raptors went 2-1 and a mini break of three days off. Tonight the Raptors go toe to toe with the Detroit Pistons where the Pistons hope to even the series at 1-1.

• Pistons are going to be without Kentavious Caldwell-Pope for at least until after the All-Star Break. He's sidelined with a groin injury and Jodie Meeks is out with a foot injury for Detroit.
• Raptors are still missing DeMarre Carroll who's been sidelined since early January from anthroscopic surgery. Also James Johnson will miss tonight's game with a nagging foot injury. Norman Powell to start.
• Bruno Caboclo was recalled from the D-League, so we'll see if he gets any burn tonight in Johnson's absence.

Tonight's Raptor Track!

Trick-Trick - "Welcome 2 Detroit" feat. Eminem

Not to be confused with the British MC and producer Tricky, (I myself have made that mistake) Trick-Trick is a rap artist from Detroit best known as a member of the Goon Sqwad. This song comes off his 2005 album The People vs. which features appearances from other Detroit natives such as Eminem and several members of D12.

Raptors 2nd in East 34-16. Pistons 8th in East 27-25.
