The Detroit Pistons will be the Cleveland Cavaliers’ first test of the preseason.
Cleveland won its preseason opener 120-89 over San Lorenzo de Almagro, which competes in Liga Nacional de Basquet league in Argentina. Not a whole lot can be learned from the first preseason game for daily fantasy sports purposes, especially considering 17 players received minutes.
Will former Michigan coach John Beilein allow his starters to play more in Detroit? We’ll see. He did play four key rotational players 20 minutes or more, including Tristan Thompson (26 minutes), Cedi Osman (21), Jordan Clarkson (20) and Larry Nance Jr.
