They say a playoff series doesn’t truly start until a road team wins a game. Well, that hasn’t happened yet when it comes to the Detroit Pistons and Cleveland Cavaliers. Given that was the case in the first round for the Cavs and the Pistons also went a full seven games, that shouldn’t be a shock. So, let’s start our week with the best Pistons vs. Cavaliers predictions for Game 4.

We’ll also make things even more valuable - beyond just Pistons vs. Cavaliers picks - with today’s GUARANTEED 10x Novig Sportsbook promo code bonus!

🤔 Pistons vs. Cavaliers Predictions for Game 4, 5/11

When we last targeted this game, so Saturday for Game 3, we were able to cash another one of our NBA expert picks by taking over 211.5 points. We went that route despite what we saw in the game prior and Detroit being more known for its defense because Cleveland has been extremely polarizing when it comes to their home/road splits.

They’ve helped fans come through with more than just Pistons vs. Cavaliers predictions, as they averaged 20 points more at home than on the road last round! That’s not even a margin that can keep pace for long, but all that matters is the postseason right now. Of course, it was still a great game that came down to the wire.

Although there are plenty of player prop markets to enjoy, which we often do, when it comes to the best bet from our Pistons vs. Cavaliers predictions for Game 4, we’re sticking with a very basic approach.

🔥 Pistons vs. Cavaliers Best Bet: Detroit +3.5 (-108 at Novig)

Given what we just noted regarding the Cleveland home/road splits, our pick here may surprise you. Even with their ability to produce more at home, they still aren’t playing as cleanly as needed against a guy like Cade Cunningham, who can go off for 45 points. We also don’t need the outright upset for our Pistons vs. Cavaliers predictions.

Admittedly, Cade needs to hang onto the rock as well, but James Harden continues to be a turnover machine, even if he did finally score down the stretch of a game. Let’s also not forget that Cleveland nearly blew a big lead on Saturday, which is in part why the spread is now only 3.5 for our Pistons vs. Cavaliers predictions for Game 4 rather than 4.5 like it was for that game.

Foul shots down the stretch helped them cover, but it was a 110-109 game with just 50 seconds left to play. Furthermore, we saw Donovan Mitchell and Jarrett Allen fade as the series went on in the first round. After Mitchell had his back-to-back games with 32 and 30 points, he was held to 24 or fewer for the next five games.

Let’s see if the series officially “starts” with a road team winning, but even if not, we have Detroit +3.5 (-108 at Novig) as the best bet from our Pistons vs. Cavaliers predictions!
