Cleveland Cavaliers vs Detroit Pistons Prediction: Confident Victory of Cleveland

Prediction for the NBA Cleveland Cavaliers vs Detroit Pistons match, which will take place on February 9th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Cleveland Cavaliers

In meetings with Indiana (122:103) and Washington (114:91), the Cavaliers confirmed the status of one of the strongest teams in the Eastern Conference, leaving their rivals no chance of success. Once again, we note the excellent work of Cleveland in defense. And how could it be otherwise if the team is led by one of the foremost defensive specialists of our time, J.B. Bickerstaff? The Cavaliers miss the least in the league (106.5 points on average per game). They are effective both in terms of perimeter defense and inside the arc (27.5 two-pointers per match and fifth place in the NBA); in addition, against Cleveland opponents give only 22.6 assists per game, which is the best indicator this season.

Detroit Pistons

If Cleveland has just returned from the trip, the Pistons went on the road, having played three previous matches at home. The last team of the Eastern Conference lost two of the three meetings in this segment – first, Detroit coped with another outsider of the East, Charlotte (118:112), and then lost to the contenders of the season, Phoenix (99:111) and Boston (100:116). That is a typical result for today's Pistons, who lose several matches for one win.

Expert Betting Tips

The best defense of the season, Cleveland will face one of the worst attacks of this championship in the upcoming game. Most likely, the match will not differ much from the first two face–to–face meetings of the Cavaliers and Detroit this season - since those games, little has changed. We are waiting for a confident victory of Cleveland in the grassroots match.
