Cleveland Cavaliers and Detroit Pistons head-to-head record
The Cleveland Cavaliers and the Detroit Pistons are up against each other, with the Cavaliers having won four out of the last five times they faced the Pistons. The Cavaliers won by more than ten points in three of these games, with a 113-101 victory on the 26th of October 2024. Detroit's only win happened on the 17th of October 2024, where they won 108-92, showing that they can take advantage when Cleveland has a hard time. In these games, Cleveland's even scoring and solid defense, especially from Jarrett Allen, were particularly important. Meanwhile, Detroit has depended a lot on Cade Cunningham's ability to create plays. If Cleveland keeps shooting well and effectively grabbing defensive rebounds, they can stay on top. However, Detroit can give them a run for their money if they reduce mistakes and compete like they did on October 17.
