PREVIEW: The Cleveland Cavaliers and Detroit Pistons are set to clash in an intriguing Eastern Conference matchup at Little Caesars Arena. The game is scheduled for Monday, October 27, 2025, at 7 p.m. ET in Detroit, Michigan. Both teams are competing for high positions in the Eastern Conference, with the Cavaliers potentially holding an advantage due to their deeper bench and stronger starting lineup. Cleveland, who led the NBA in offensive efficiency last season and were eliminated in the Eastern Conference Semifinals, will face a Pistons team that recently snapped a five-year playoff drought. The Cavaliers are coming off a narrow 118-113 home victory against the Bucks, where Donovan Mitchell led the team with 24 points and they needed a crucial late-game run to secure the win. The Pistons, similarly, are riding momentum after outlasting the Celtics 119-113 in a home game where Cade Cunningham scored 25 points and they overcame an early deficit. Both teams are dealing with injuries, with the Cavaliers missing Max Strus and Darius Garland, while the Pistons are without Jaden Ivey and have Marcus Sasser and Caris LeVert listed as day-to-day. Fans can catch the action on Peacock.
