Cleveland Cavaliers (18-11) vs. Detroit Pistons (6-23)

After losing to the Miami Heat on Christmas Day, the Cleveland Cavaliers bounced back against a lowly Orlando Magic team and will follow that up with a game against an even worse Detroit Pistons squad. Detroit waived Josh Smith this past week, which makes them a little better than they were before but far from a team the Cavaliers need to fear.

Trap games are something that the Cavaliers need to be mindful of — especially in the fragile state they’re in. Kevin Love and the defense need to step up, Kyrie Irving and LeBron James need to be rested and kept healthy and this Cavaliers bench needs consistency. All of theses things can very much be accomplished against the Detroit Pistons on Sunday afternoon.
