Both the Cleveland Cavaliers and Detroit Pistons needed to win Game 7’s over the weekend to get to the second round, and now, they’re matched up against one another. It's a matchup featuring some stud guards in Donovan Mitchell and Cade Cunningham, so let’s make it even more exciting with our best Cavaliers vs. Pistons predictions for Game 1.

🔥 Cavaliers vs. Pistons Predictions for Game 1, 5/5

The aforementioned Game 7’s were just yesterday, and BOTH helped us cash some NBA expert picks. We were on Cleveland, going over their team total of 108.5 (which was a sweat) and Detroit’s game total going over 202.5 (which also wasn’t looking great for a while). With those stressful picks out of the way, it’s time for Cavaliers vs. Pistons predictions for Game 1.

Of the superstars that we pointed out above, it’s the latter - Cade Cunningham - that performed far better in the first round. That’s why we see a points prop closing in on 30 for him, and as for Donovan Mitchell, both he and James Harden need to step up. Jarrett Allen bailed them out yesterday, but they can’t rely on that.

Ok, there were plenty of names thrown out there, but there’s a different one that’s on our radar. So, let’s get into the best bet from our Cavaliers vs. Pistons predictions!

🏅 Cavaliers vs. Pistons Best Bet: Jalen Duren Over 15.5 Points (Use Kalshi To Make Picks On Anything)

We absolutely love this pick. The value is simply too great to pass up, starting with the fact that Duren’s points prop line was 18.5 at the LOWEST during the season and was around 20.5 more often than not. That’s reason enough for this to be the focus of our Cavaliers vs. Pistons predictions, but that’s just the beginning.

The reason for such an adjusted line is Duren’s first-round performance. However, the Orlando Magic were the absolute worst matchup for him, and we preached them from the start of that series. It came to fruition, but it’s not even close to the case against Cleveland, hence us locking in Cavaliers vs. Pistons predictions on this market.

When these teams last met, Duren went for 24 points in 27 minutes. When they last met in Detroit, which is where this series opens, he went for 33 points. In those games, he also pulled down 14 and 16 rebounds, respectively, so you could also make this a combo prop.

We like both approaches, but we’re going to lock in the best bet from our Cavaliers vs. Pistons predictions on Jalen Duren over 15.5 points (submit a trade with Kalshi prediction market).
