NBA: Tuesday's 7:30 p.m. play

Play: Cleveland -6.5 -102

Time: 7:30 p.m. ET

Reasoning: The Cavaliers have won 16 of their last 18 overall (and have the NBA's best record since Jan. 15). They've been victorious in six of their last eight on the road. They've shot a league-best 47.9% and have averaged 108.6 ppg over their last 18. They've also won 10 of their last 11 vs. sub-.500 teams, four of the last five vs. Detroit and each of the last three at The Palace. Since Jan. 16 Kyrie Irving has hit 50% of his 110 three-point attempts and Cleveland has drained 26 threes in its last two contests. It also has shot at least 50.6% from the field in four of its last five. On Sunday the Cavs beat the Knicks by 18 on the road. On Jan. 27 Cleveland beat the Pistons 103-95 on the road and Irving and LeBron James combined for 70 points. Irving missed the loss to Detroit on Dec. 28 and the Pistons won't have Brandon Jennings (ACL) for this one. Jennings had 25 points in that meeting. The Cavs also could have recently-acquired Kendrick Perkins on Tuesday. The Pistons are below average both offensively and defensively, they don't make as many free throws as Cleveland and they will likely lose the battle of the boards here.
