Ron Raymond’s data-driven trends spotlight Monday’s marquee matchups. Let’s dive into the numbers.
Game 1: Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Detroit Pistons
Trends Highlight:
- CLE as Home Favorite vs. DET: The Cavaliers are 12-3 SU (80% win rate) but just 7-7-1 ATS. The Under is 5-9-1 in this matchup.
- CLE as Heavy Home Favorite (-9.5 to -12.0): When laying big points, Cleveland is 31-3 SU (91.2%) but a shaky 18-16-0 ATS.
Key Takeaway: Trust Cleveland’s SU dominance, but avoid the inflated spread. Lean Under if the total stays low (CLE’s Central Division home games are 10-14-1 to the Under).
Game 2: Milwaukee Bucks in January
Trends Highlight:
- MIL in January: The Bucks are 8-2 SU and 7-3 ATS this month, with a perfect 10-0 Over record.
- Road Favorite Trends: As 6.5–9-point road favorites, Milwaukee is 27-4 SU and 16-15-0 to the Over when totals exceed 220.

Game 3: LA Clippers vs. Pacific Division Foes
