Dunkel
Detroit at Cleveland
While the Cavaliers are down 0-2 in this series, they return home knowing they had shots to win both games on the road. There's also a bit of deja vu here as the Cavs were in a similar hole against Detroit in last year's semifinals and went on to win three straight to push the Pistons to the brink of elimination. Such a run does not seem out of the question for Cleveland this year as Detroit has looked sluggish in a pair of 79-76 wins. In fact, with the exception of the clincher against Chicago, the Pistons are now 1-4 against the spread in their last five games. Needing a win, the Cavs look like the pick (-3 1/2) in Game Three according to Dunkel, which has Cleveland favored straight up by 7 1/2. Dunkel Pick: Cleveland (-3 1/2). Here are all of today's games.
SUNDAY, MAY 27
