The over is 5-0 in Cavaliers last 5 overall. The Pistons are 2-7 ATS in the last 9 meetings in Cleveland and 0-4 ATS in the last 4 meetings.
The Detroit Pistons have played better over the last week or so, but they’re still one of the worst teams in the league at both ends of the floor and not a team I’m interested in backing much. The Cleveland Cavaliers have shown far and away more promise this season and have covered four of their last five games despite the outright losses. The Cavs are the better team and we’re not being asked to lay anything crazy. I’ll lay the bucket.
