🧪 SAL's Synthesis
Given the negative Net EV of -0.02, it doesn't make sense to bet on the Cleveland Cavaliers to win against the Detroit Pistons. The Cavaliers have shown inconsistency recently, reflected in their recent losses, and the Pistons' stronger record gives them a significant edge in this matchup at home. The lack of momentum for the Cavaliers combined with the spread indicating skepticism about their chances further supports avoiding this bet.
