The Pistons look to inch closer to an Eastern Conference Finals berth, traveling to Cleveland for Game 3 against a desperate Cavaliers squad on Saturday.

After winning Game 2 of this Eastern Conference semifinals, Detroit has won five postseason games in a row. Looking to advance to the conference finals for the first time since 2008, the Pistons will need the same performance from Cade Cunningham's first two games this series to take a commanding 3-0 lead.

The Cavaliers return to Rocket Arena, where they are 4-0 in this postseason. Donovan Mitchell has done his part by averaging 27 points in the first two games, but James Harden has struggled. The veteran guard and former league MVP has averaged just 17 points and has committed more turnovers than made field goals in this series.
