The Cleveland Cavs have wrapped up the #2 seed in the NBA East and can't change their position. They sat starters in their last two games, both vs. Boston, and seem to want to face the Celtics, who are currently #7 and would face the Cavs if things don't change. Detroit got huge games from Drummond and Monroe last night. Drummond has dominated in the Pistons' last five games averaging 14.6 points per game and 17.4 rebounds per game. While Cleveland did play starters two games back vs. Boston, LeBron and Love sat in the 4th quarter of a close game and would not be surprised to see the same scenario play itself out tonight. Detroit is 20-7 ATS in their last 27 against a team with a winning home record, while the Cavs now 8-17 ATS following a loss. Make the play on Detroit.
