Oddsmakers currently have the Cavaliers listed as 6½-point favorites versus the Pistons, while the game’s total is sitting at 202.
Cleveland has not lost three in a row since a six-game slide dropped it to 19-20 on Jan. 13. The Cavaliers have gone 32-9 since then but have no reason to push for more over the final two games – both at home. Irving sat out both games against the Celtics to rest a sore hip but is expected to shake the rust off on Monday with a normal rotation of minutes.
Cleveland lost its last outing, a 117-78 result against the Celtics on April 12. The Cavaliers failed to cover in that game as a +10.5-point underdog, while the 195 combined points took the game UNDER the total.
Team record: 51-29 SU,39-41 ATS
Cleveland is 1-6 ATS in its last 7 games
Cleveland is 12-4 SU in its last 16 games
The total has gone UNDER in 5 of Cleveland’s last 7 games
Cleveland is 13-6 ATS in its last 19 games at home
Anthony Tolliver (5-of-6) and Jodie Meeks (4-of-7) led the way off the bench as Detroit went 16-of-28 from 3-point range against the Hornets. The Pistons have been out of the race for the last two weeks but are steadily putting the pieces together for next season, and 3-point shooting from Tolliver, Meeks and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope opening up the lane for Andre Drummond and Reggie Jackson could be a path to future success. Drummond posted his fifth straight double-double on Sunday and is averaging 14.6 points and 17.4 rebounds in that span.
Detroit won its last outing, a 116-77 result against the Hornets on April 12. The Pistons covered in that game as a -8-point favorite, while the 193 combined points took the game PUSH the total.
Team record: 31-49 SU,41-39 ATS
