Good morning, it’s Tuesday, March 3rd. The Cleveland Cavaliers are 38-24 and host the Detroit Pistons tonight. They’ll be without Donovan Mitchell again, who has missed the previous three games with a groin injury. Let’s hope he’ll be back next week, as the Cavs have four days off after this game.
Cleveland’s rematch with the Pistons tonight should be entertaining. Their last meeting was full of everything (including numerous missed calls) and went into overtime. The Cavs lost that one and would probably like to have it back. Thankfully, they now have a chance to make it right on their homefloor.
Today’s Game of the Day
- Cleveland Cavaliers vs Detroit Pistons – 7 PM,
Okay, we’re biased. But this is genuinely the best matchup on the schedule today. So, let’s talk a little bit more about it.
Detroit has emerged as the best team in the conference. There’s little chance anyone can catch them in the standings, though it’s not impossible. Yet even with that advantage, the Cavs are looking to make a statement against their potential playoff roadblock. They nearly beat this team last week despite various injuries. Setting the score straight with a big win tonight is worth something, even if it’s only a moral boost.
