They are entering this game off of a loss against the Phoenix Suns in their last game. Bojan Bogdanović led the team in points in that game with 19 while Killian Hayes and Alec Burks each were next on the team with 17 points.

The Pistons have an ATS record of 11-9-1 this season and their O/U record is 12-8-1.

The current betting odds have the Pistons listed as a 7 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Pistons have not been off to a great start this season as they have one of the worst records in the NBA right now, but they also have a very young team with a lot of talent that hasn't been playing badly in their games. They still need a lot of time to grow together as a team but they really play their best when they are at home and even though they have lost a lot of games there this season, they have kept a lot of those games close in score and have even beat some pretty good teams too. The Cavaliers were one of the hottest teams to start the season this year as they got off to a big run right from the start but they haven't been winning many games since their streak ended and even the games they are winning are not coming in blowouts. They have really come down to Earth a lot lately and even though the Pistons have a terrible record, these young players are going to give the Cavs a lot to handle here. The Cavaliers haven't been playing as well lately and even if they do win this game on the road, it won't be by a lot of points as Detroit will keep this a close one. The best way to place a bet here is on the Pistons to cover the spread in this game.

“This is a great lesson for us. We played against an established team who knows where they need to go when they need to take it to another level. That's what we're learning. They took the game to playoff-level physicality, and those are things we have to learn how to compete against.” - J.B. Bickerstaff after his team’s loss against the Bucks in their game on Friday.

 

 

“The player stepped on his foot, titled his knee. They are looking at it now. Big play, big play. Someone has got to see that play in that situation. The man tears up his knee and loses the ball in a close game.” - Dwane Casey after his team’s loss against the Suns in their game on Friday.
