The Cleveland Cavaliers will go for a regular-season series against the Detroit Pistons at Little Caesars Arena.

The Cavaliers come to Detroit looking to extend their win streak to four games after beating the Utah Jazz 120-91, the Portland Trail Blazers 122-111, and the Utah Jazz 124-116. As the regular season enters its final three weeks, the Cavs are sitting on a 5-game lead on the Boston Celtics for the No.1 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs.

The Pistons have caught fire in the past two weeks, winning four of their last five games. Detroit kicked off their three-game home stand with a 136-130 win over the New Orleans Pelicans and followed it up with a 122-96 blowout of the San Antonio Spurs. The Pistons will be hosting the Cavs on Friday, aiming to complete a sweep of their home stand before they hit the road for the final road swing of their regular-season campaign.

Our Detroit Pistons vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction

The Pistons will try to deny the Cavs from sweeping them in the regular season, but they must bring their A-game because Cleveland is playing great again. Cade Cunningham has missed the last two games with a calf contusion. It’s unclear if he will suit up in Friday’s game against their Central Division rival, though I expect the coaching staff to put him under minutes restriction if he gets the clearance to play. And although the Pistons have won their last two games without their do-it-all star, Cunningham’s value on this young Pistons team will be magnified in this matchup with the No.1 team in the East. The Pistons will need a healthy, productive Cunningham to beat these elite teams from now on. Our betting prediction for Detroit Pistons vs. Cleveland Cavaliers: Cavaliers will cover -8.5 points.

Prediction:

 

Cavaliers will cover -8.5 points
