Our Detroit Pistons vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction
The Cavaliers have been on a tear this season, but given that they are playing the end of a back-to-back, they may opt to rest a few players here as they did with Evan Mobley last night.
Still, the Cavs have enough in reserve to win this match, but the Pistons have been flying under the radar in recent weeks and have quietly got themselves into the top five in the East. With the rest advantage, we feel the hosts could make this a close contest. Our Detroit Pistons vs Cleveland Cavaliers prediction is Detroit Pistons +8.5.
