Prediction for the NBA match which will take place on January 28. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Cleveland Cavaliers

The Cavaliers' unlucky streak began in the road game against Houston, where Kenny Atkinson's team could have won. Cavs guard Darius Garland made three free throws at the very end of the game with a minus-two point margin, but made only two of them. The result was a 108:109 defeat.

Next, Cleveland played back-to-back games and first unexpectedly lost to Philadelphia (129:132), and then faced Houston again, this time at home. The Cavaliers fell behind by 14 points at the end of the first half and in the second 24 minutes could not recover this handicap - 131:135.

Thus, the team from Ohio already has 9 defeats in 45 games since the start of the season. Cleveland retains leadership in the standings of the Eastern Conference, but allowed Boston to get closer to themselves at a distance of 4.5 wins.

Detroit Pistons

The Pistons are balancing on the edge of the Eastern Conference playoff zone and fell out of the top-6 again at the end of the previous match. The team met on the road with Orlando, missed more than 120 points from the currently worst offence of this season and lost 113:121. Even 35 points and 11 assists from Cade Cunningham, who is having a great championship, didn't help Detroit.

After this defeat, the Pistons swapped places with the Magic in the standings and are now seventh in the East with a 23-22 win balance.
