The Detroit Pistons travel to Rocket Arena on Friday (7 p.m. ET, Amazon Prime) to face the Cleveland Cavaliers in a pivotal Eastern Conference Semifinals matchup.
Following a narrow 117–113 victory by Cleveland on Wednesday, the Cavaliers now lead this intense playoff series three games to two.
Cade Cunningham has been spectacular for Detroit, coming off a 39-point performance, but the Pistons must find more defensive consistency to keep their season alive.
Meanwhile, Cleveland relies on the steady veteran leadership of James Harden and the scoring prowess of Donovan Mitchell to close out the series at home.
The Cavaliers hold a significant advantage in the frontcourt as well, with Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley providing elite rim protection.
NBA odds list Cleveland as a 3.5-point favorite against Detroit and an over/under of 209.5.
