Round 2, Game 1: Pistons Vs. Cavs - May 5, 2026

The Pistons are back with some playoff basketball in the Motor City tonight as Detroit hosts the Cleveland Cavs for the first installment of their second round matchup. During the regular season, the two Central Division foes fought to an even 2-2 record in the season series, so we should be in store for another competitive battle between the two sides as they both bring some momentum into tonight fresh off Game 7 victories. 

Donovan Mitchell had to miss the two most recent Pistons/Cavs games, so it will be interesting to see how Cleveland looks at full strength against Detroit after retooling at the Trade Deadline. 

Who do you have as the early favorite in this postseason matchup?
