Detroit likes doing things the hard way as it once again has to come back from a series deficit and win a Game 7 as it did against Orlando in the first round. Cade Cunningham had 21 points and Jalen Duran played his best game of the series as he scored 15 points and grabbed 11 rebounds for the Pistons, who won Game 6 115-94. The Pistons have won four games this postseason while facing elimination so a Game 7 at home shouldn't phase them. Detroit showed its depth on Friday as its reserves outscored Cleveland's backups 48-19. The Cavaliers are 8-3 UNDER their past 11 at Detroit and 14 of the past 20 meetings overall have stayed UNDER. The Pistons clamped down defensively in Game 7 against the Magic holding them to 41 percent shooting and 10-for-30 on 3-pointers. Look for more of the same on Sunday night. Take the Pistons on the moneyline, the game and the first half to go UNDER.
