PLAYOFF RECORD
YTD 19-13 (.593)
SIDES 6-6 (.500)
TOTALS 13-7 (.650)
DET is 20-7 ATS in their last 27 road games.
DET is 16-5 ATS as a RD Dog this season
Underdog is 11-1 ATS in the last 12 meetings between these 2.
I love Detroit and the points in this spot as bettors have jumped off the Piston ship... BUT its a must win for the Cavs and the reasoning that I talked about when UTAH was down 0-2... "the biggest game for the Cavs this season and its at home." applies here. So its a Pass for me on the Side. Cavs winning but not covering is a strong possibility. So I'll go with a simpler choice.
Under is 23-4 in the last 27 meetings between these 2
Under is 13-3 in the last 16 meetings in Cleveland.
Under is 35-17 in DET last 52 road games.
Under is 45-16 in CLE last 61 vs. NBA Central.
Clev plays better defense at Home and Detroit plays better defense on the RD.
172' is the lowest Total posted between these 2 in the last 25 meetings going back to 2003. 172 is still 17 points higher than the 155 game Totals that these 2 have posted on the scoreboard in the first 2 games.
