Result:
LOSS

The Detroit Pistons rebuild has gone nowhere to this point, as they are 14-41 on the season. They make the short trip to Cleveland having gone 3-11 in their last 14 games. The Cavs are chugging toward the playoffs at 34-22 on the season, riding a modest 3-game winning streak. The Cavs have shot 52% or better in four of their last five games and that, along with Detroit's miserable record, is driving the line here but the shot rate is unsustainable. Detroit may look like an ugly choice but the Pistons are 8-5 ATS as a dog of 10.5 points or more and fit into a game situation that is 37-19 ATS. Make the play on Detroit.
