Cavaliers Host Game 4 Needing a Win to Pull Even With Pistons

Oddsmakers lean to Cleveland at home on the strength of Donovan Mitchell’s 35-point response in Game 3.

Overview

  • The matchup tips Monday at 8 p.m. ET in Cleveland on NBC and Peacock, with Detroit up 2-1 in the Eastern Conference semifinal.
  • Cleveland took Game 3, 116-109, behind Mitchell’s 35 points and 10 rebounds with James Harden closing late, while Cade Cunningham posted a 27-10-10 triple-double for Detroit.
  • Sportsbooks list the Cavs around -3.5, and several models and prediction markets give them a narrow edge at home.
  • Detroit lists Kevin Huerter (left adductor) as doubtful and Caris LeVert (right heel) as questionable, while Cleveland’s only new note is center Thomas Bryant questionable with a back issue.
  • Cleveland is 5-0 at home this postseason, and the result will either tie the series heading back to Detroit for Wednesday’s Game 5 or put the Pistons one win from the conference finals.
