In recent games, the Cleveland Cavs have handled Memphis and Washington with confidence. The Pistons, of course, are not a great team. It’s unlikely that the Pistons will be able to beat the favourite.
The Cleveland Cavs’ defence is excellent. The Cavaliers look particularly reliable on the court. For example, in 3 of their last 4 home games, they have not allowed their opponents to score more than 102 points. The Pistons are in a slump right now, so they shouldn’t be too surprised with their performance.
J.B. Bickerstaff’s team is aiming for a top-three finish in their conference. The team is close to the Philadelphia 76ers in the Eastern Conference. The Cavs have won three of their last three games. They defeated the Memphis Grizzlies (128-131), Indiana Pacers (122-103) and Washington Wizards (114-91).
In the last game, the Cavs’ players took the top three in performance. Jarrett Allen had the best record. He scored 23 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists. Darius Garland had the same number of points. Donovan Mitchell had 21 points.
The Cleveland Cavs are ranked in the top 4 in the Eastern Conference. In 56 games, they have 34 wins and 22 losses.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have won 78.6% of their games at home (22-6).
The Detroit Pistons are in complete decline. In the last five meetings, the team has won only one meeting. That was against the Charlotte Hornets (118-112). In the rest of the matches, the team lost to the Boston Celtics (99-111), Phoenix Suns (100-116), Dallas Mavericks (105-111) and Houston Rockets (114-117).
