Teams Preview
Detroit Pistons
The Detroit Pistons are ready for the first assignment in the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Cavaliers. Detroit had a tough ride of emotions as Magic dragged the first-round series to Game 7. The Eastern Conference leaders defeated Orlando with ease in the decider and booked their place in the semifinals. They overcame a 3-1 deficit to win the series. It was only the 15th instance in NBA playoff history. The hosts would eye an early advantage in the semifinals series.
The Pistons posted a 60-22 record in the Eastern Conference and went 8-2 in the last ten games of the regular season. They are 4-6 against the Caves in the last ten NBA games. Detroit averaged 117.8 points per game and allowed 109.6 points per game. The hosts dropped one home game out of two against the Caves in the current season. The Pistons will play the conference semifinals for the first time since 2008. They have defeated the Caves once in the conference semifinals during the 2006 series.
Detroit won the previous seven conference semifinal series in NBA history. Cade Cunningham was the star performer in the last game with 32 points and 12 assists, while Tobias Harris went for 30 points and nine rebounds. Cade Cunningham could also be our offensive threat in this game. The 24-year-old averaged 32.4 points in the playoffs this season. We back him to score 20 or more points in the upcoming fixture. Detroit can find glory because home advantage is the big thing.
Cleveland Cavaliers
The Cavaliers have the same story in the first-round playoff series. The former champions outclassed the Raptors 4-3 in the opening round to reach the conference semifinals. In Game 7, they defeated Toronto 114-102 to reach the semifinals for the third successive year. However, the Caves lost their previous two conference semifinal series in the NBA playoffs. Last year, the Pacers knocked them out. The Caves will reach Detroit to take on the Pistons in Game 1 on Tuesday.
The Cavaliers have a good record against the Pistons in the playoffs series. However, they lost to them in the only conference semifinal series in 2006. The Caves finished fourth in the Eastern Conference with a 52-30 record. They secured two wins out of four in the ongoing season against Detroit. The visitors averaged 119.5 points per game and allowed 115.4 points per game in the regular season. The Caves shot 46.8% from the floor and 34.1% from the three-point line during the playoff series.
The Caves dropped all three road games during the playoff series and it’s a big thing ahead of Game 1 against the Pistons. They can still fancy their chances on Tuesday night. Cleveland are 6-4 against Detroit in the last ten regular season games. Donovan Mitchell could be our offensive threat in this game. He averaged 23.1 points in the playoffs. We back him to score 20 or more points in the upcoming fixture.
