Cleveland Cavaliers vs Detroit Pistons Prediction
The Cleveland Cavaliers are more than capable of blowing the doors off, especially if they’re going to shoot nearly 60 percent from the field again. Still, I’m not a fan of laying massive numbers this early in the season. Also, the Pistons nearly upset the Nets in their season opener, and they were strong defensively throughout the preseason. I’ll take a stab with the Pistons and the free buckets.
