Pistons, Cavaliers collide in decisive Game 7 after Detroit’s statement win

Detroit forced a decisive Game 7 by beating Cleveland 115-94 in Cleveland to knot the Eastern Conference semifinal at 3-3, with Jalen Duren posting 15 points, 11 rebounds and three blocks as part of his playoff-double-double pace. The Cavs got 23 from James Harden but struggled beyond their top four scorers, while Detroit shot 52% overall and 44% from three. Injury notes linger for both teams (Huerter and Robinson for Detroit, LeVert for Cleveland were listed questionable for Game 7). Latest betting lines put Detroit at -185 on the moneyline, -4.5 spread and a 205.5 total (open 206.5). Rotoworld’s projections lean Pistons on the moneyline and spread and under on the total. Tipoff is Sunday, May 17 at 8:10 PM ET from Little Caesars Arena, with Amazon Prime Video carrying the broadcast.
