Detroit Road Underdogs With Backs Against Wall in Cleveland

The Pistons are no strangers to facing elimination this postseason.

The top seed in the Eastern Conference fell behind 3-1 in their first-round series against the Orlando Magic. Of course, they then battled back with three straight wins, including two by double digits, to win the series in seven games.

Detroit is going to need to find some of the magic again to stay alive in Cleveland.

The Cavaliers are much better at home (33-14) than on the road (26-21) this season, with Detroit also worse on the road (29-17) than at home (36-11). This could be Cleveland’s only real chance to take the series, given those splits.

In the regular season, the Pistons were able to get a road win in Cleveland as +3.5 underdogs on January 4.
