Season Profile Comparison: Detroit Pistons vs Toronto Raptors
Instead of one big grid, the profile is grouped into four categories with a quick read for each. The important part is whether the two key stats agree—or whether the matchup is a trade between different ways to win.
Record & Scoring
On record and margin, Detroit Pistons holds the edge (68.3 win% with 8.2 margin), a combo that tends to survive a cold shooting stretch. The counter for Toronto Raptors is turning the game into shorter bursts—quick points, fast stops, and less time for the “better profile” to settle in.
| Metric | Detroit Pistons | Toronto Raptors |
|---|---|---|
| Record (W-L) | 60-22 | 46-36 |
| Win Percentage | 68.3 | 58.5 |
| Points For | 117.8 | 114.6 |
| Points Against | 109.6 | 111.8 |
| Points Margin | 8.2 | 2.8 |
Efficiency
Shooting efficiency and field goal efficiency are close (107.2 vs 108.3, 54.6 vs 54.6), so this category may come down to who creates better looks under pressure. In even profiles, one short hot stretch can be the only separation.
| Metric | Detroit Pistons | Toronto Raptors |
|---|---|---|
| Field Goal % | 0.7 | 0.7 |
| Three-Point % | 0.2 | 0.2 |
| Shooting Efficiency | 107.2 | 108.3 |
| Field Goal Efficiency | 54.6 | 54.6 |
| Free Throw Rate | 0.3 | 0.3 |
| Three-Point Rate | 0.3 | 0.4 |
| Free Throw % | 0.8 | 0.8 |
Tempo, Ratings & Turnovers
Detroit Pistons owns the net rating edge (7.6), while Toronto Raptors is cleaner on turnovers (12.9), which makes this section a trade between “overall efficiency” and “possession safety.” In close games, the turnover edge can matter more late because it prevents easy run-outs.
| Metric | Detroit Pistons | Toronto Raptors |
|---|---|---|
| Pace | 102.3 | 101 |
| Net Rating | 7.6 | 2.9 |
| Offensive Rating | 114.3 | 113 |
| Defensive Rating | 106.6 | 110 |
| Turnovers Per Game | 14.2 | 12.9 |
Rebounding, Ball Movement & Disruption
This section is level on the drivers (0.3 vs 0.3, 10.4 vs 8.8), so ball security and box-outs matter more than raw volume. If the game is tight late, one extra second chance or one extra steal is usually the separator.
| Metric | Detroit Pistons | Toronto Raptors |
|---|---|---|
| Rebounds Per Game | 45.6 | 42.1 |
| Offensive Rebounds | 0.3 | 0.3 |
| Defensive Rebounds | 0.7 | 0.7 |
| Assists Per Game | 27.8 | 29.5 |
| Assist Rate | 64.1 | 69.2 |
| Steals Per Game | 10.4 | 8.8 |
| Blocks Per Game | 6.4 | 4.8 |

- Game script (pace): Detroit Pistons is set up to press tempo, but Toronto Raptors benefits if it can steady possessions and keep the game in the half-court. The initial pace hint tends to follows the total.
- Efficiency edge (side): On the season profile, it tilts to Detroit Pistons when the possession battle stays tidier and the glass does not leak. Those added possessions can turn the number. If one thing separates it, Toronto Raptors has the plainest turnover profile to keep.
- Late filters (availability + market): The last piece is who actually plays and how the spot looks, since those factors can shift the closing lineup choices. If the market has moved, let it be a cue to validate assumptions instead of pushing a stance.
