Closing splits and closing spread for each game, on the Cleveland Cavaliers' side.
The Cleveland Cavaliers lead the Detroit Pistons 9-5 across 14 meetings since 2024-25, as Central Division rivals who meet three or four times a season. Against the closing spread the Cleveland Cavaliers are 9-5. On average the Cleveland Cavaliers drew 55% of the spread bets in these games and the Detroit Pistons 45%.
The public backed one side clearly (60% or more of spread bets) in 3 of them. The Cleveland Cavaliers went 2-1 against the spread in the games where the crowd backed them.
None of this is a pick. Across the league over the last two seasons, the side with 60% or more of spread bets covered about half the time, not enough to beat the bookmaker's margin by backing it or fading it. The next meeting will show its live split on the NBA page on game day.
