| NBA | (555) Cleveland Cavaliers at (556) Detroit Pistons: Spread | 7:10pm EST - Feb 27/2026 |
The PLAY: Cleveland Cavaliers +6.5 (-115)
Cavaliers vs Pistons NBA Free Pick
The Angle(s): The Cleveland Cavaliers are a disappointing 25-35 against the spread on the season, but this is one of few spots they've been profitable in. The Cavs are 6-3 as road underdogs, 4-1 against the spread as road underdogs against rivals from the East. The Detroit Pistons have had a great season, but own a losing record as home favorites and won by just four points when they hosted the Cavs last month.
The Bet: CAVS (2%).

Consultant Bio
Magic Mike Moneymaker's experience as a professional poker player has proven to be an immeasurable asset in sports handicapping. He's a numbers guy, with a keen eye for spotting trends and stats that just don't jive with the odds offered by the bookmakers. All Mike's plays come with write ups backing up his selection, giving you a glimpse into his process of breaking down games.
Just as in cash game poker, the goal is not to win that giant pot once in a while, but to build your bankroll slowly and steadily by identifying +EV situations to exploit.
----Handicapping Methodology----
As a former online poker pro, Mike knows the value of creating systems and winning formulas through statistical analysis and math to use as a baseline, but much like poker, sports are played by human beings with emotions and feelings.
Identifying letdown spots, bounce-back spots and situational betting in general plays a big part in Mike's success in picking winners, but he's also not a stranger to locking in a bet based on stats and trends alone.
