Cleveland Cavaliers vs Detroit Pistons Prediction – 2/5/2025

On February 5, 2025, the Cleveland Cavaliers (40-10) will face off against the Detroit Pistons (25-25) in a critical divisional matchup. This game, set to tip off at 7:00 PM ET at Little Caesars Arena, carries significant implications for both teams. With a storied rivalry at play, each squad will have extra motivation to claim victory.

Cleveland enters this contest as a favorite, currently sitting at -5.0 on the spread and a moneyline of -200, which translates to an implied win probability of 64%. However, the Cavaliers are coming off a tough back-to-back scenario, having lost to the Boston Celtics just a day prior, 112-105. This lack of rest could impact their performance, as players may struggle to recover from the previous night’s exertions.

Meanwhile, Detroit seeks to bounce back after a narrow loss to the Atlanta Hawks, 132-130, and they possess a 36% implied win probability with a moneyline of +170. Despite their mid-level record, the Pistons have shown resilience, winning 15 of their last 25 games.

One player to watch is Darius Garland, whose Points and Rebounds prop market is gaining traction among bettors, specifically at Over 24.5 Points and Rebounds (-110). Sharp bettors seem to favor the Over, believing the line could be mispriced.

As these two teams clash, the combination of Cleveland's recent performances, Detroit's motivation, and the dynamics of a back-to-back game position this matchup as one to closely follow for both fans and bettors alike.
