Cleveland Cavaliers vs Detroit Pistons prediction
The Cleveland Cavaliers are obviously the better team here and have won 8 straight meetings against the Pistons. The Cavs should be big favorites in this spot. However, while the Pistons aren’t winning games, they’ve covered 6 of their last 9 games and have been competitive in these losses. The Cavaliers just lost to the Bulls by 9 points as 5.5 point favorites, the same team the Pistons just upset. Donovan Mitchell is questionable for the Cavs with a knee injury. That’s worth watching before locking in any bet. Lot of points here. Give me the Pistons and the free buckets.
