The Cleveland side come into this game in outstanding form, having won four of their last five. They are statistically the fourth-best offense and the fourth-best defense in the entire NBA. They have been very solid on the glass the entire season, allowing the fewest rebounds to their opponents in the entire NBA (39.6). They are also allowing the third-fewest field goal makes to their opponents, only conceding 39 field goals per game.

Most of their offensive success comes through their star backcourt duo of Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland. Mitchell has been outstanding for the Cavs ever since his arrival in the off-season. He has been particularly amazing in the last three games, averaging nearly 31 points in that period. Over the course of the season, Mitchell has averaged 30 points and night on 63.9% true shooting while also providing four assists per game.

The Pistons have struggled massively at the start of the season, winning only five games up till this point. They currently have the lowest field goal efficiency in the entire NBA only making 44% of their field goal attempts. On the brighter side, they are attempting the most free throws of any team in the league and in the process, converting the most as well.

On paper, the Cavaliers should easily win this one considering the form that they have been in and the quality of the side they can field in this game. Without Cunningham, this Detroit side lacks quality in the offensive region and has shown a scarcity of chance creation.
