Tips and Trends

Cleveland Cavaliers at Detroit Pistons

Cavs (-4, O/U 180.5): Cleveland has lost in its last four trips to the Palace of Auburn Hills and hopes the return of center Zydrunas Ilgauskas will continue to give the team a boost. Ilgauskas totaled 20 points and 11 rebounds in his first game back from a broken ankle after missing 13 games as the Cavs knocked off the Clippers on Friday, 112-95. “Our offense always runs a lot smoother when (Ilgauskas is) out there because it leads to everyone getting touches because the paint is so wide open,” Cleveland star LeBron James said. “His ability to spread the offense and spread the floor helps us out a lot. When he’s not in there, it seems the paint is much more crowded.”

Cavs are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 road games.
The UNDER is 26-6 in the last 32 meetings.

Key Injuries - C Zydrunas Ilgauskas (ankle) has returned.
G Delonte West (wrist) is OUT.

PROJECTED SCORE: 93 (Side Play of the Day)

Pistons: Detroit will be looking to avoid losing four straight home games for the first time in eight years and prove it can beat an elite team. The Pistons sit 11 games behind the Cavs in the Central Division and are just 13-10 at home this season after going 129-35 at the Palace from 1994 through last season. They are coming off an 86-78 loss to Boston there on Friday with Allen Iverson scoring 19 points. Iverson has been held under 20 points in five straight games, and the Pistons are just 11-19 under that scenario. They are 11-3 when he scores 20 points or more.

Pistons are 0-8 ATS in their last 8 Sunday games.
The UNDER is 11-2 in Detroit's last 13 Sunday games.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 87
