Returning home from a combative road trip against the now 7-0 Milwaukee Bucks, the Detroit Pistons host another scorching hot division rival in the 6-1 Cleveland Cavaliers. The Cavs have gotten off to a dominant start, entering Little Caesars Arena on the back of six straight victories and the ranking in the top 7 for both offensive and defensive rating, per NBA.com.
Once again, tonight provides the opportunity for Detroit to show they have the capabilities to match it with the leagues best on a consistent basis. After a pair of brilliant back-to-back outings against the Golden State and Milwaukee, the predictably Bucks curb-stomped the naive Pistons on Wednesday night.
