**Cavs Roll Through A Struggling Pistons Squad**

Look, the Pistons have had a phenomenal season, finishing 60-22. But their recent skid, losing three of their last five, has me questioning their championship mettle. The Cavaliers, on the other hand, have been lights-out, winning four straight and finishing 52-30.

The key matchup here is Donovan Mitchell against Cade Cunningham. Mitchell's scoring explosiveness has been a problem for teams all year, and Cunningham's defense, while improved, isn't quite there yet. Thing is, Detroit's defense has also slipped, allowing an average of 118 points in their last five.

Cleveland takes this one, 125-108.
