The Detroit Pistons are set to welcome the Cleveland Cavaliers in their next assignment in the NBA on Saturday. Both teams sit amongst the top four teams in the Eastern Conference. Read on to see our preview and prediction for the match.
The Detroit Pistons defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder at home 124-116 to ensure they return to winning ways. J.B. Bickerstaff’s men, despite facing a depleted Thunder team, showcased why they are the top team in the Eastern Conference.
Detroit had lost at home to the Spurs before OKC’s visit and could not afford back to back defeats to the West’s top two sides. With the win, they have improved to 43-14 and are 5.5 games ahead of their closest challengers.
The Cavaliers arrive in Detroit seeking to return to winning ways. Suffering their second loss in the last three games, Kenny Atkinson’s men were outscored 118-116 by the Bucks in Milwaukee.
James Harden missed the game, and so did Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley. The three are likely to once again remain on the sidelines as they continue to recover from their injuries.
Cleveland has put up a 37-23 record and defeated Detroit in the first meeting of the season.
