The Cavs are 10-1 in their last 11 games facing teams with a losing record, but the Pistons have been playing well and in their last 10 games they have 6 wins.
One of the reasons for the Cavs streak has been their improved offense. Since mid-January they lead the league averaging 108.6 ppg on 47.9% shooting. Kyrie Iriving has been playing great and since January 16th he has hit 50% of his 3-pointers (55/110).
The Pistons are 18-10 in their last 28 games and they are only 1-game back of the Brooklyn Nets for the last playoff spot in the East.
The Cavs have a balanced team that has 5 players averaging in double figures led by LeBron James. In the last meeting between these 2 teams at the end of January in Detroit James and Irving combined for 70 points.
Brandon Jennings leads the Pistons in scoring and he is out for the season with an injury. Still, Detroit has several players averaging in double figures and their new leading scorer is Reggie Jackson (17 ppg), who they recently traded for. The Pistons are winning because of their improved play on the offensive end of the court. Since Christmas, when they were 5-23, they have averaged over 106 ppg.
The Cavs rank 8th in the league in scoring and 13th in opponents’ points allowed.
