The Detroit Pistons face the Toronto Raptors in a crucial NBA Cup group stage matchup. After a narrow victory over the Miami Heat, the Pistons are positioned just behind the Milwaukee Bucks in their group. However, they will be without Tim Hardaway Jr. and Simone Fontecchio due to injuries.

Despite these absences, Jaden Ivey is back, and the Pistons will maintain a similar starting lineup. Malik Beasley excelled in his recent starting role, contributing significantly against the Bucks.
