Pistons Playing Better
The Detroit Pistons are coming into this one after a nice win against the Orlando Magic. They were able to score 134 points in this one as Saddiq Bey led the way with 51 points.
Saddiq Bey just had everything going for him on Thursday, and Detroit is going to hope that he can continue that in the game against the Cavaliers.
Although Detroit has one of the worst records in the NBA, they have won five out of their last 10 games and have played better as of late.
They’re going to be coming into this one with the 29th rated net rating, the 28th ranked offensive rating, and the 24th ranked defensive rating.
Cavaliers Looking To Win Short-Handed
The Cleveland Cavaliers have had an interesting past few weeks considering that they’ve had to deal with some injuries. They’re going to be coming into this one on a back-to-back, which means we could see even more players sitting for them on Saturday. Cleveland is set to take on the Denver Nuggets on Friday, which should be one of the better games of the day.
In the Cavaliers’ most recent game, they ended up losing to the Philadelphia 76ers by four points. Darius Garland led the way with 22 points, but it wasn’t enough for Cleveland to get the job done.
On the season, the Cavaliers have the tenth rated net rating, the 21st rated offensive rating, and the fourth rated defensive rating.

Free NBA Picks — Cavaliers vs Pistons
For this game, I think I’m going to take the Detroit Pistons to cover the spread. With how big the spread is, I do think that they’re going to be able to cover.
Considering that the Cavaliers are going to be coming into this one on a back-to-back and they are dealing with some tough injuries, I think Detroit could potentially even when this one outright if they do play their best basketball. It’s much safer to just take the points and that’s exactly what I’m going to do.
