The Cavaliers entered the season as the favorites to win the Eastern Conference. They were the only team last year to feature three All-Stars —Mitchell, Mobley, and Darius Garland — all of whom returned this season. Garland, however, remains sidelined with a toe injury.
The Pistons (2-1) are coming off a 119-113 win against the Celtics last night. Cade Cunningham scored a team-high 25 points in the win, while Jalen Duren added 24, and Ausar Thompson scored 21.
