*10* play on Detroit Pistons.

Tyronn Lue started his tenure as head coach for the Cleveland Cavaliers with an embarrassing 96-83 loss to the Bulls, but he as led the team to a pair of victories against Minnesota and Phoenix since. This will be his first time in charge on the road though, and I think he'll find the Detroit Pistons to be a far tougher opponent than he might expect.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Look Ahead Spot - The Cavaliers are dominating the Eastern Conference but have lost both match-ups against the Spurs and the Warriors from the West this season. They're playing the Spurs home in Cleveland tomorrow, and I would be very surprised if that game is not lingering in Lebron's and his team mates minds already.

2. Andre Drummond - The Pistons' center had 25 points and 18 rebounds when the Pistons defeated the Cavs 104-99 here at the Palace back in November. These were also his exact numbers in Wednesday's 110-97 win against the 76ers, and he was 7-of-12 from the foul line going 4-of-5 on foul shots in the last three minutes which otherwise is a weakness of his.

3. X-Factor - The Pistons have covered the spread in 11 of the last 16 meetings.

Selection: This is a play on the Detroit Pistons (10*)
