The Cleveland Cavaliers will welcome the Detroit Pistons in their next assignment in the NBA. They enter this game as the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference and trail leaders Detroit by 8.5 games. Read on to find our prediction for this match.
The Cavaliers are back home after an inconsistent three-game road trip. Kenny Atkinson’s men lost twice on that trip, including in OT in Detroit. They did win in their last match, producing a hard-fought 106-102.
Cleveland has now won 38 games and is two games clear of the Raptors, who are chasing them for home-court advantage come the playoffs. Donovan Mitchell has missed the last three games with a groin injury and will remain sidelined.
The Pistons haven’t lost to the Cavaliers this season and arrive for this clash as favorites. J.B. Bickerstaff’s high flyers have won both matchups with their soon-to-be hosts, which have all been played this year.
They had to dig deep, though, to win the most recent battle, played less than a week ago. That win in OT is part of Detroit’s current three-game winning streak.
In this run, the Pistons have won against the Thunder, Cavs, and the Magic, whom they defeated last time out, 106-92. With most teams in the East having played 59 games, the Pistons lead the conference by five games, having compiled a 45-14 record.

Our Cleveland Cavaliers vs Detroit Pistons Prediction
Our prediction for the Cleveland Cavaliers v the Detroit Pistons is that the Detroit Pistons wins. The Pistons are coming into this fixture in splendid form. They have lost just once in nine games and are on a three-game winning streak.
Their away form is even more impressive as they haven’t lost any of their last six games away from home. Detroit, therefore, looks strong to win this match as they are coming up against a team they have dominated this season. The Cavaliers’ inconsistent recent run of form also doesn’t help things for them.
If your team in the Cleveland Cavaliers and Detroit Pistons game takes a 20-point lead, you win!
If you want to place a bet on the moneyline in the Cleveland Cavaliers vs Detroit Pistons game, then bet365 is the place to do it. If the team that you have bet on takes a 20-point lead in the game, then bet365 will pay your bet out as a winner. If your team goes on to lose, you are still a winner.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
