Cavs Clawing Their Way Back? Or Pistons Rolling On?

Detroit's dominant 60-22 record speaks for itself, and they've been torching opponents like a runaway wildfire, winning eight of their last ten. Cleveland, meanwhile, has stumbled to a 52-30 finish, managing only three wins in their last five outings. The key matchup will be Donovan Mitchell trying to break down Detroit's suffocating team defense, a challenge he's struggled with at times this season.

Look, the Pistons are simply better. Their offense hums, and their defense locks down. Mitchell will get his points, sure, but it won't be enough.

Detroit wins, 118-105.
