BETTING TRENDS
Detroit are 7-0-1 ATS in their last 8 games.
The total has gone UNDER in 6 of Detroit's last 8 games.
Cleveland are 11-3 SU in their last 14 games at home.
The total has gone OVER in 5 of Cleveland's last 6 games.
Prediction
Somehow the Pistons are 7-0-1 ATS in their last 8 games and 5-0-1 ATS in their last 5 on the road and looks kike Cunningham will be back for this game. The Cavs have been profitable at home covering in 21 of 34 games at home this season. With the way both teams are scoring lately I think this total has been set to low and I'm liking the over.
