Cavaliers vs. Pistons Predictions for NBA on Peacock, 10/27

Starting with the team that had the earlier game on Sunday, the Pistons advanced to 2-1 after dropping the Boston Celtics to 0-3 to start their season without Jayson Tatum. His absence actually had Detroit favored to do so, but if not for monster second and third quarters, the Pistons had a horrible start and finish to the game.

As for Donovan Mitchell and the Cavs, they, too, were at home taking on Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks. Although they gave up 40 points, 14 boards, and 9 assists to the Greek Freak, they snuck away with a five-point victory. With that in mind, we’ll also note that they were 6.5-point favorites, even as they remain without Darius Garland.

This is such an awesome matchup with Cleveland looking to get over the hump postseason-wise and Detroit making it back to the tourney last season. With a potential playoff series preview, let’s get into our favorite way to target the game with the best bet from our Cavaliers vs. Pistons predictions.
 

 

 

Cavaliers vs. Pistons Best Bet: Jalen Duren Under 10.5 Rebounds (-115 at Fanatics)

With both teams just sneaking away with some tight victories last night and with similar expectations for the season (especially with Cleveland also missing Max Strus), it’s no shock that this matchup could be considered a toss-up. That’s what the Cavaliers vs. Pistons odds suggest, so how did these two Eastern Conference foes fare last season?

Cleveland won the season series 3-1, went 2-2 against the spread, and we saw a 3-1 record for the over. There’s nothing that we truly love in terms of the standard markets, so we’re going to focus our Cavaliers vs. Pistons picks elsewhere. That would be with some player prop action, and we’re targeting the Detroit side of the matchup.

Well, depending on your perspective, you could say the Cleveland side of it, as we expect the double-big of Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley to do their part controlling the boards. The two combined for 19 rebounds last night, and that’s something they can nearly do individually, and they’re going to need to against Jalen Duren tonight.

Cleveland has allowed the eighth-fewest rebounds per game so far this season, but yes, it is indeed a very small sample size. However, this line just seems too high when Ausar Thompson is getting double-digit rebounds himself as well. 

This one could be a sweat, but we’ve got Jalen Duren under 10.5 rebounds (-115 at Fanatics) as the best bet from our Cavaliers vs. Pistons predictions.
