Detroit at Cleveland

If you believe in the Zig-Zag NBA playoff theory, this is the perfect time to back Cleveland. The Cavaliers host the Pistons in Game 3 after losing and failing to cover in the first two games, both at Detroit. Cleveland has won eight straight home games, going 6-2 ATS. This includes winning all four first-round home playoff games against the Raptors. The Pistons went 1-2 SU and ATS at Orlando during their first-round playoff series against the Magic. The Cavaliers should shoot much better against the Pistons than they did in Game 2 when they missed 25 of 32 3-point shots (22 percent) in a 107-97 loss. Cleveland was an above-average 3-point shooting team during the regular season, connecting on 36 percent of its attempts. James Harden is also due for a better performance after shooting 3-of-13 from the field in Game 2. Both games in the series have gone UNDER with the average combined score totaling 208 points. The Pistons ranked third defensively during the regular season, while the Cavaliers were 11th. Take the Cavaliers and the UNDER.
