Cleveland Cavaliers @ Detroit Pistons
The Cavs are looking to grab a 17th win in 19th games, but they will be taking on another team that has made big improvements after a poor start to the season. The Detroit Pistons may not have achieved the number of wins that the Cavs have obtained this season but when you take on board the horrific start the Pistons suffered, they have performed well to turn it around so well.
Heading into this game, the Cavaliers hold a 32-55 record which includes a 14-13 record on the road. The Pistons hold a 23-33 record, which includes a 12-18 record at home. Both teams have a winning streak of 2 and the Cavs are 8-2 in their last 10 outings while the Pistons are 6-4.
The Cavs have an advantage in both average points scored and average points allowed. The average points scored comparison stands at 102.6 to 98.4 and the average points allowed comparison stands at 98.8 to 99.4.
The Cavs have concerns over Kevin Love and Shawn Marion while the Pistons are likely to be without Cartier Martin and Caron Butler while Reggie Jackson and Tayshaun Prince are being closely monitored. The Cavs won away to the Knicks on Sunday night, winning 83-101 and the Pistons won at home to the Wizards on the same evening, winning by 101-83.
Taking the Cavs with a -6.5 handicap, and odds of 1.90, looks to be a good bet for Tuesday. Bet Now!
