Cleveland Cavaliers at Detroit Pistons Preview & Picks

Cleveland are tipped to continue their recent dominance of Detroit.

The Cavaliers appear to have rebounded from a rough recent run and we expect them to record yet another win over the Pistons, who could struggle offensively with Cade Cunningham sidelined.

  • Cleveland Cavaliers are on a 3-game win streak
  • Cleveland Cavaliers are 12-0 in the previous 12 meetings with Detroit
  • Cleveland Cavaliers are 3-1-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings
  • The Under has cashed in 9 of the previous 10 meetings

Head To Head

  • Detroit Pistons lead the all-time series 138-123
  • Cleveland Cavaliers won 118-115 when the two teams last met on February 5

Cleveland Cavaliers Form

Cleveland enter this matchup having rebounded from four consecutive defeats with three straight wins.

The Cavaliers enjoyed a 16-game win streak that was finally brought to an end on March 16 when they were beaten 108-103 by Orlando.

They failed to rebound from that loss as they went out on the road to lose 132-119 at the LA Clippers, 123-119 in Sacramento and 123-112 at Phoenix.

Cleveland stopped the rot over the weekend though, heading to Utah to blow out the Jazz 120-91.

The Cavaliers then backed up that victory with a 122-111 win in Portland, before returning home to down San Antonio 124-116.

Detroit Pistons Form

Detroit go into this game on a solid run of form, having won four of their last five games and each of the last two.

The Pistons lost back-to-back home games in the middle of March, losing 129-125 to Washington and 113-107 to Oklahoma City.

They avoided a third straight loss though, beating New Orleans 127-81 on the road, and they backed that up with a 116-113 success in Miami.

Detroit failed to make it three-in-a-row as they lost 123-117 in Dallas, but they did issue an immediate response to that loss.

The Pistons returned home to take down New Orleans, 136-130, and they followed that up on Tuesday night as they crushed San Antonio, 122-96.

Verdict

Cleveland have not lost to Detroit for quite a while, and that trend is unlikely to change here.

The Cavaliers are back on track and are likely to have too much defensively for a Pistons team missing its biggest offensive weapon.
