"Two former Raptors draft picks helped beat their former team in the Pistons' 101-95 win tonight in Toronto.

Tracy McGrady, drafted in the first round in 1997 by Toronto, led Detroit with 22 points and five assists. Charlie Villanueva, picked by the Raptors in the first round in 2005, added 16 ponts and eight rebounds off the bench. Rodney Stuckey scored 19 points, Greg Monroe had 12 points and seven rebounds and Ben Gordon scored 11 off the bench.

Andrea Bargnani led everybody with 31 points. DeMar DeRozan had 15 points, Linas Kleiza scored 13 and Jose Calderon had 11 points and 13 assists.

Richard Hamilton did not play for the second consecutive game. He is in the middle of swirling trade rumors involving the New Jersey Nets and Carmelo Anthony. Ben Wallace missed the game with a sprained ankle. McGrady, Stuckey, Monroe, Tayshaun Prince and Chris Wilcox started for Detroit.

"This is a very different situation for me," Hamilton said. "I've never been in this situation my whole career. I don't know where to look."

Hamilton said he's consulted his agent about the sudden lack of court time, but has not spoken with anyone else.

"Do I want to play?" Hamilton said. "Yes. Do I want to be on the floor competing? Yes. Am I doing that right now? No. I want to play, I want to get on the floor, I want to get an opportunity to do something that I love to do."

Pistons coach John Kuester said McGrady helped control the flow of the offense.

"He did a great job," Kuester said. "I was very impressed with his pace of the game, his control, making big plays when we needed some big plays going down the stretch."

A reserve earlier this season as he rehabbed his surgically repaired knee, McGrady said his health is coming along.

"I'm starting to feel a lot better physically," McGrady said. "Being out for so long I think I've actually gotten a little smarter on the basketball court, just from seeing the game from afar.""
