Now, here are several NBA betting lines and trends for Pistons vs. Cavaliers. Cavaliers vs. Pistons spread: Pistons -7 Cavaliers vs. Pistons over-under: 219 points Cavaliers vs. Pistons money line: Pistons -275, Cavaliers +246 CLE: Has failed to cover in five of the last seven games DET: Is 3-3 in the last six games against the spread Why the Cavaliers can cover The model knows that Cleveland is the No. 2 team in the NBA in offensive rebounding and, beyond that, the Cavaliers lead the NBA in keeping opponents off the free-throw line. Those figures come in handy when attempting to win the possession battle and the Cavaliers are also strong on the defensive glass, which is a necessity against Andre Drummond. Collin Sexton leads the way from a scoring perspective with 19.3 points per game, but Cleveland will lean heavily on a two-headed monster in the front court. Kevin Love enters the night averaging 17.4 points and 10.0 rebounds per game, with Tristan Thompson also averaging a double-double with 12.3 points and 10.4 rebounds per contest. Why the Pistons can cover Even so, Cleveland isn't a lock to cover the Pistons vs. Cavaliers spread. The model also has considered that, while the Pistons are essentially an average offensive team, Detroit has a sizable matchup advantage on that end of the floor. The Cavaliers enter the night as the second-worst defense in the NBA. That, coupled with the fact that Detroit is above-average in shooting efficiency, offensive rebounding and free-throw rate, paints a positive picture for the Pistons' offense. In addition, the Pistons should be able to capitalize in transition, with the Cavaliers having the worst offensive turnover rate in the NBA to this point in the campaign. https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/pi...
