Cleveland to Cover Against Detroit

The betting community is getting wise to setting lines against the Pistons. Opening at minus-4 for the Pistons, the spread moved by a point-and-a-half away from the Pistons and back towards Cleveland. When you host a team that is 5-0 SU in their last five games, then that’s bound to happen. I’ve always loved the Cavs against Detroit against the spread ever since that brilliant Game 5 performance. With Mo Williams and the Cavs coming together, and the Pistons still in seeming limbo since acquiring the “me-first” Allen Iverson, Cleveland looks like a sharp play tonight.

Very rarely do I advise taking the OVER in a Detroit Pistons game, but this is a matchup where the Pistons will have to play catch-up with a Cleveland team that will look to run the score. With Iverson in the game, and Rasheed up to no good, the Pistons will be lighting the board in an effort to keep pace. Bet the OVER and on Cleveland!
