Cleveland Cavaliers: Must-Win to Stay Alive 🔵
The Cavaliers (52-30, 4th seed) finally got a win in Game 3 (112-105) at home, snapping a two-game skid. Donovan Mitchell (31 pts in Game 2, 28 pts in Game 3) is heating up, while Jarrett Allen (22 pts, 7 reb Game 2) anchors the interior. But James Harden is struggling—10 pts (3/13 shooting) and 4 turnovers in Game 2, plus Sam Merrill (hamstring) is questionable, hurting their 3PT spacingNBA. Their biggest issue: slow starts and 3PT slumps (7/32 from deep in Game 2), which cost them early leads.

The Pistons (60-22, 1st seed) are on a 5-game win streak, with Game 1 (111-101) and Game 2 (107-97) wins at homeNBA. Cade Cunningham (23 pts Game 1, 25 pts/10 ast Game 2) is the engine, while Tobias Harris (20 pts Game 1, 21 pts Game 2) and Duncan Robinson (19 pts Game 1, 17 pts Game 2) provide firepowerNBA. Their elite defense (held Orlando to 45.6% paint efficiency in Round 1) and deep bench (Daniss Jenkins 14 pts Game 2) keep them rolling, with no key injuries holding them back.
