NBA Playoff Preview - Game #1 Cleveland Cavaliers at Detroit Pistons
8:05 pm Eastern TNT brought by Ecobika NBA Betting. SBG Global Opening Line: Detroit -6, Total 176
The Cleveland Cavaliers and Detroit Pistons meet tonight in Game #1 of the Eastern Conference Finals. It is a rematch of last year's semifinal match up when Detroit came back from 3-2 down to defeat the Cavaliers. Most NBA experts think the Pistons have too much for the Cavaliers again this season and the betting public agrees. SBG Global reports that early wager for this game has gamblers all over the Pistons laying the points at home.
Detroit won three of four games against Cleveland this season and come into the Eastern Conference Finals confident. "What helps us is what they did to us last year," Detroit coach Flip Saunders said. "That's a positive for us. They had us down, and we came back and knew we had to win Game 6 to get to Game 7. That's why this year, except for the one game when we got beat in overtime, we came out focused knowing if we didn't they would beat us." SBG Global Series Price: Pistons -340, Cavaliers +280
SBG Global Game #1 Line: Detroit -6.5, Total 177. Cleveland is also confident. "We feel like we can do it," reserve point guard Eric Snow said. "We just have to go out and get it done." Cleveland believes they have more than just LeBron James. Larry Hughes is scoring from the point and the Cavaliers have players like forward Anderson Varejao who are contributing. "The difference between them a year ago or two years ago and this year, is that they're not a one-man team," Saunders said. "They have more people they can go to, they play their bench more and they always seem to have someone who comes up big for them." Last year Detroit lost in the Conference Finals to Miami and they are looking to take the next step to the Finals this season. The Pistons are in the conference finals for the fifth straight year. Cleveland has had relatively little trouble so far this season in the playoffs sweeping Washington and dispatching New Jersey in six games. "They're a team to be reckoned with now," Detroit guard Lindsay Hunter said. "They've made it this far and all of the elite teams are still playing, so you have to consider them elite. We have to really buckle down and be focused."
