Cleveland at Detroit

Cleveland has won two in a row under its new coach, Tyrone Lue, who wants them to go more up-tempo. With all the depth and talent the Cavliers have, why haven't they tried this before? Cleveland has rolled the last two games, 114-107 and 115-93. Cleveland recorded a season-high 34 assists in Wednesday’s 115-93 win over the Suns, with James handing out a team-high nine. James is 18-of-23 from the floor in the last two contests. The Cavaliers are 8-2 ATS vs. a team with a winning straight-up record. This is the end of a quick two-game homestand for Detroit, a team that has been on the road a lot and is off on a three-game trip after this contest. Center Andre Drummond has a liability that is being exposed, 1-of-14 from the free throw line the last two contests. In addition, Pistons guard Brandon Jennings has totaled two points on 0-of-8 shooting in the last two games. Detroit is #21 in the NBA in field goal shooting defense and faces the run-and-gun Cavs, so grab the best team in the East. Take Cleveland.
