The Cleveland Cavaliers<\/a> will look to pick up their second win this week against a team in the top half of the Eastern Conference playoff picture. Cleveland has split its previous two games against the conference-leading Detroit Pistons<\/a>, but its current team looks a lot different from the one that faced them in October and January. We\u2019ll see how this version stacks up against one of the most consistent teams in the league.<\/p>\n

The Pistons have been the best team in the conference by every statistical measure. They have the best record, best defense, and have been playing at a high level all season. Head coach J.B. Bickerstaff has gotten the most out of this group. Whether or not that translates to the playoffs remains to be seen.<\/p>\n
