Our Cleveland Cavaliers vs Detroit Pistons Prediction
The Pistons probably had their franchise's lowest point two years ago, losing 28 games in a row. But they've since rebounded around superstar Cunningham and last season, beating top NBA teams. The Pistons finished with a 44-38 record.
For the 2025/2026 season, Detroit kept the same core as last season, but now they have a high-quality sixth man in Paul Reed, for whom Detroit paid $11 million over two years.
Our prediction for Pistons vs Cavaliers is: Pistons +2.5.
