Command Analysis
Pistons managed to break away from Orlando, but they are still the second-bottom club in the Eastern Conference. It will be extremely hard to save this season, plus head coach decided to bet on younger players, who are yet to gain consistency.
After two victories Detroit had an away match against the leader of the Eastern Conference. Dwane Casey's men were unable to put up a fight to Chicago, game ended with a humiliating defeat for the Pistons (87:133). Josh Jackson was probably the only bright spot in Pistons' performance, he scored 16 points.
Raptors are now in the play-in zone, but it is not enough for the Canadian club. Nick Nurse's men will try to get into the Top-6 of the Eastern Conference, Charlotte and Cleveland are not so far away.
Toronto put up an impressive streak of six victories, which helped them to improve the position in the standings, but in the most recent match team was on the losing side. Pascal Siakam and co were defeated by Phoenix (95:99) at home. It was to be expected, because the Suns are currently at the top of the Conference. Raptors need to reedem themselves now.
