Detroit at Cleveland

Detroit is playing well, winning 8 of 11, and well-rested work on two days of rest. Detroit has worked its way into the seventh spot in the East. They are tops at defending the three-pointer and won't be in a good mood as coach Dwane Casey was not happy with his team's effort against the Spurs the last game. The Pistons are 16-6 ATS against a team with a winning percentage below .400, plus 9-3 ATS away versus a team with a losing home record. They face a pitiful Cleveland squad that is #29 in scoring, #28 in shooting, while the defense is #22 in points allowed, dead last in field goal shooting allowed (.490). Cleveland is 16-38 ATS at home against a team with a losing road record, plus 11-28 ATS at home versus an opponent with a road winning percentage of less than .400. Detroit took each of the first two meetings this season by an average of nine points and will roll. Play Detroit.
