Analysis
My selection is on Cleveland plus the points over Detroit at 7:05 pm et on Tuesday. We'll grab all the points we can get with the Cavaliers in Game 1 of this Eastern Conference semi-final round series on Tuesday. Cleveland snapped its 0-4 ATS streak with a win and cover against the Raptors in Game 7 of its first round series on Sunday. I believe it is well-positioned to put Detroit on 'upset' alert on Tuesday, even if this wouldn't be much of an upset at all. The Pistons have won three straight games and that's notable as they've won more than three games in a row just once going back to February 23rd. They're also checking in off back-to-back ATS victories. They've put together just two ATS winning streaks lasting three games or more since February 23rd and only four such streaks since November 24th. Take Cleveland (8*).
