The Detroit Pistons play host to the Cleveland Cavaliers at Little Ceasar's Arena on Sunday.

The Cavaliers (12-7) looked unstoppable when they started the season with an 8-1 record, but they've lost six of their last 10 games since then. Most of that damage was done in a five-game losing streak last week, but they come into this matchup winning four of their last five games. They've beaten some of the best teams in the NBA in that span, with the only defeat coming against the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday. That's nothing to be ashamed of, and it's exciting to watch this team click. Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen have formed the best defensive frontcourt in the NBA, while Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland have developed into one of the most dynamic backcourts. That's too many weapons for other teams to compete with, and it has Cleveland looking like one of the best teams in the NBA.

The Pistons (5-16) are returning after a west coast road trip. They actually have just two road wins all year, but those two victories came in unlikely circumstances. The Pistons had a rare back-to-back set in Denver and in Utah but grabbed both of those games earlier in the week, despite having a winless road record before that. It's hard to understand how that happened, but it has fans encouraged. They followed that up with a road defeat against the Phoenix Suns on Friday, but that game was close throughout. No one ever grabbed a double-digit lead in that contest, and it's clear this Detroit team is starting to find some rhythm. With that said, they have the worst record in the Eastern Conference and will likely battle for ping-pong balls all year, especially with Cade Cunnigham (shin) out for the foreseeable future.

These teams played on November 4, with Cleveland prevailing, 112-88. That gives the Cavaliers seven wins in their last 10 meetings with the Pistons, dating back four years.
