NFL betting<\/span><\/a> players dreaming about LeBron James in a Browns uniform?<\/span> It won’t happen anytime soon as James is busy trying to lead the Cavaliers to an NBA title. <\/span><\/font>Cleveland<\/st1:place><\/st1:City> will head to Detroit<\/st1:place><\/st1:City> on Wednesday to face a troubled Pistons team, and the Cavs will be going for eight wins in a row over their Eastern Conference rivals.<\/o:p><\/p>\n

Cavaliers vs<\/span> Pistons betting – Wednesday, November 25, 8:00 PM ET<\/span><\/font><\/b><\/o:p><\/p>\n

The Cavaliers are 8-2 so far in the month of November, and they’ve been missing Shaquille O’Neal for the last five games due to a shoulder injury. The defense, which is a major factor in their online betting<\/a> chances, is coming along, although they’ve given up 100 points or more in four of their last six games. LeBron James had 25.8 points. 6.8 boards and 6.5 assists<\/span> in four games against the Pistons last year, while Mo Williams was next with 17.3 points. <\/o:p><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

The Pistons’ NBA odds are falling due to a five-game losing streak, failing to break 100 points over that time. They’re sorely missing the veteran leadership of Rip Hamilton and Tayshaun<\/span> Prince, who really hasn’t been the same since he started going head-to-head with James over the last couple of seasons. <\/span><\/font>Detroit<\/st1:place><\/st1:City> is 25th<\/sup> in the league in points scored, and no matter how good their defense is,<\/span> their NBA odds won’t rise until they can start filling the basket. Their four top scorers against the Cavs last year, Allen Iverson, Hamilton, Rasheed Wallace and Prince, won’t be playing in this game (Iverson and Wallace aren’t even in Detroit anymore).<\/o:p><\/p>\n

NBA odds<\/a> should favor the Cavaliers on the road, as they’ve won seven in a row over the Pistons and three straight in the <\/span><\/font>Motor<\/st1:PlaceName> City<\/st1:PlaceType><\/st1:place>. The Pistons don’t have anyone who can contain James, who has scored 30 or more in seven of his last eight games, and he loves playing against Detroit<\/st1:place><\/st1:City>. Meanwhile, the Pistons will continue to struggle to score points against a Cleveland<\/st1:place><\/st1:City> defense that is starting to get it together. The Cavaliers are a safe sports betting choice on Wednesday night. <\/o:p><\/p>\n
