NBA Tues 5/5
- Thread starter Junior44
- Start date
Detroit -3 (3x)
-Since March 1, Cleveland has gone 3-11 against the spread on the road. James Harden and Donovan Mitchell are capable of getting hot on any given night, but I have a little more trust in Detroit to get the job done in Game 1 at home. Let's not forget, the Cavs finished with the league's worst record against the spread during the regular season and they nearly went 2-5 against the spread in the series with Toronto (finished 3-4 ATS with one cover coming by a half-point). Cleveland turned the ball over on 17.5-percent of its possessions against the Raptors, and things aren't going to get any easier against a Pistons defense that finished the regular season with the second-best defensive rating in the league. Play Detroit in game 1
