Little Caesars Arena will be brought to life on Wednesday night when the Detroit Pistons clash with the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA. The Pistons (25-25) are sixth in the Eastern Conference, while the Cavaliers (40-10) are leading the pack. Let’s get into the match prediction. 

The Detroit Pistons seemed set for overtime when facing the Hawks on Monday, but Trae Young dashed their hopes in the final two seconds with a clutch basket as the match ended 132-130 in favour of Atlanta.

Cade Cunningham continued his impressive run of form, contributing 30 points, six rebounds and 14 assists as the team converted 52% of their 83 field attempts.

Detroit sits mid-table in the scoring charts, averaging 112.7 points per game (15th in the NBA) while allowing 113.7 PPG (17th overall). 

Meanwhile, with a 112-105 scoreline on Monday, the Cleveland Cavaliers saw their four-match win streak end at the hands of the Boston Celtics in a surprisingly one-sided affair.

Donovan Mitchell led the scoring on the night, sinking 12 of his 31 points from beyond the arc, securing 10 rebounds and providing six assists, while Darius Garland added a further 25.

The Cavs continue to boast the second-highest scoring average in the league at 122.3 points per game while securing a top-ten defence that allows just 111.8 points per game.
