Following a light Monday slate, tonight’s NBA action is loaded with great matchups. While there is indeed an NBC and Peacock doubleheader, before that even tips off, we get to enjoy a premier matchup that could very well be an Eastern Conference Finals preview. Therefore, we’re here to add to it with our best Pistons vs. Cavaliers predictions for tonight.

Not only will you find our top Pistons vs. Cavaliers picks below, but also a guaranteed Novig Sportsbook promo code bonus!

🤔 Pistons vs. Cavaliers Predictions for NBA on NBC, 3/3

Anytime any of the teams currently sitting in a playoff spot meet, it could be hyped up as a potential conference championship matchup, but with this one, it truly is a very real possibility. We also had the luxury of adding to our NBA expert picks with Pistons vs. Cavaliers predictions just the other day.

It was just last Friday night that we saw these juggernauts of the Eastern Conference, which was a close 122-119 win for Detroit. It was the second straight meeting where a tight matchup came through for Pistons vs. Cavaliers picks, as Detroit also won a 114-110 game at the start of the new calendar year.

As for the very first meeting between these squads, it was way back during the first week of the new season, which was a Cavs victory. Since then, a lot has changed, most notably the acquisition AND injury of James Harden, and also an injury to Donovan Mitchell. As you can see, there is plenty to consider for a best bet from our Pistons vs. Cavaliers predictions.

🔥 Pistons vs. Cavaliers Best Bet: Jalen Duren Over 18.5 Points (+118 at Novig)

As far as those injuries go, we saw James Harden return from his thumb fracture and play well with a 22-9-8 game. However, since Donovan Mitchell was unable to make it back from his groin injury, Cleveland actually barely beat the lowly Brooklyn Nets. That’s sure to have some fans fading them with their Pistons vs. Cavaliers predictions.

Given those variables with Harden and Mitchell, we’re going to turn our attention to the player prop markets, and specifically, one on the Detroit side of the matchup. Although Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen are healthy, our eyes are still on the Pistons big man. After all, Jalen Duren went off against Cleveland just the other night.

In their clash last Friday night, Duren went for 33 points and 16 rebounds. Yes, that was with both Mobley and Allen on the court. For what it’s worth, those two also performed well with 23-12 and 25-9, respectively. Even still, we see more value in targeting Duren.

His 33 versus Cleveland made it four straight games scoring 25+ points, so you can see why. It’s why we’re locking in the best bet from our Pistons vs. Cavaliers predictions on Jalen Duren over 18.5 points (+118 at Novig).
