Pistons at Cavaliers: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Cavaliers 113, Pistons 105
Money line (ML)
The CAVALIERS (-150) are moderate favorites in this game, but they have been playing better basketball lately, at least against teams they should beat. The Pistons (+125) certainly qualify as a team they should be able to beat, as they’re just 4-13 SU, including 1-6 on the road.
Against the spread (ATS)
The CAVALIERS -3.5 (-105) are a strong play on their home court, even though the Pistons +3.5 (-115) have covered their past two. These teams have already played once this season, with Cleveland winning 128-119 in overtime as one-point underdogs. The Pistons are 2-7 ATS in their past nine trips to Cleveland, and the Cavs have covered each of the past four meetings overall.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 213.5 (-110) is the way to go, cashing in four straight meetings in Cleveland, and eight straight meetings overall in this series. The Pistons have also hit the Over in six in a row on the road and seven straight against teams with a losing straight-up record. The Over is also 6-0 in Detroit’s past six as a road underdog.
