The Thunder (7-16) snapped their eight-game losing streak with a win over the rebuilding Detroit Pistons on Monday with the returns of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Josh Giddey and Kenrich Williams leading the way. Canadian natives Gilgeous-Alexander and Lu Dort combined for 58 points.

Advice and prediction
The Thunder did a nice job at getting some mojo back — after an embarrassing 73-point loss — by defeating the Pistons and completing the 18-point comeback. Surprisingly enough, the Thunder lead the league in 15-plus point comebacks this season with five.
The Raptors are much more talented than the Pistons. Despite what their record says, they are a top-half team in the league in terms of offensive ratings. I expect a close, hard fought home win for the Raptors.
While the win was nice, plenty of red flags regarding the Thunder were easily masked in Detroit against arguably a worse team. Take Toronto to cover.
Prediction: Raptors 111, Thunder 103
