Lebron & Co. will not only have that historical playoff edge, but also the advantage of being the #1 seed in the East.<\/p>\n That means home court advantage in the series, and they have been nothing short of dominant at home in 2008-09.

Cleveland took three of four games from Detroit in the regular season with the games split 2\/2 ATS. All four games went under, and in the most recent three, incidentally the Cleveland wins, Detroit managed just 77 PPG. The Pistons also ended the season on just a 18-31 stretch and will be without Allen Iverson for the duration of the playoffs.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Now here’s a look at the top StatFox team playoff trends for both clubs:<\/strong><\/p>\n #1 CLEVELAND CAVALIERS<\/strong> #8 DETROIT PISTONS<\/strong> The Cavaliers and Pistons have been longtime rivals in the NBA’s Central Division, now Lebron & Co. will not only have that historical playoff edge, but also the advantage of being the #1 seed in the East…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":68,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[12875,13059,13060,13058,4189,13050,13047,13055,13056,13057,11414,7777,1178],"class_list":["post-10234","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-nba","tag-2009-nba-playoffs","tag-cavaliers-vs-pistons-odds","tag-cavaliers-vs-pistons-pick","tag-cavs-playoff-trends","tag-nba-betting-trends","tag-nba-playoff-gambling-trends","tag-nba-team-playoff-trends","tag-pistons-playoff-trends","tag-pistons-vs-cavaliers-pick","tag-pistons-vs-cavaliers-prediction","tag-sportsbook-articles","tag-sportsbook-trends","tag-sportsbookcom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10234","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/68"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10234"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10234\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":107616,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10234\/revisions\/107616"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10234"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10234"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10234"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/p>\n
