Underdog NBA: "Darius Garland (thumb) now listed questionable Wednesday."
The 2022 NBA All-Star is in the middle of another productive season with averages of 22.0 points, 2.8 rebounds, 8.1 assists and 1.3 steals per contest.
He is also shooting 46.1% from the field and 41.5% from the three-point range.
The Cavs have not been to the NBA Playoffs since 2023, but the drought appears very likely to end in 2023.
They are currently the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference with a 34-22 record in 56 games.
In addition, the Cavs are 6-4 in their last ten games and in the middle of a three-game winning streak.
At home, they have been brilliant, going 22-6 in 28 games hosted in Ohio.
Garland is in his fourth season in the NBA (all with the Cavs) and has become one of the better point guards in the Eastern Conference.
The Cavs have an elite roster with Garland, Donovan Mitchell, Jarrett Allen, Caris LeVert, Evan Mobley, Kevin Love and others.
There is a legitimate case that they should be seen as a contender.
As for the Pistons, they are 14-41 in 55 games, which has them as the 15th seed in the east.
They are 2-8 in their last ten games and 7-20 in the 27 games they have played on the road away from Michigan.
