The Cleveland Cavaliers will try to take a commanding 3-0 lead when they take on the Detroit Pistons at the Palace of Auburn Hills on Friday night for Game 3 of their first-round playoff series.

"We did what we're supposed to do," Cavaliers head coach Tyronn Lue said. "We took care of home court. ... Now we have to go to Detroit. We know it's going to be a hostile environment, and we have to play well."

The East top team is coming fresh from a two-game win at the Quicken Loans Arena. However, with the Wine and Gold's visit in Detroit, the home crowd will be trying to affect LeBron James' psyche.

James, who finished Game 2 with 27 points while shooting 12 for 18 from the field, is expected to lead the Cavaliers in claiming the third win of the series.

Cleveland, which holds a 13-6 all-time playoff record against Detroit, will aim to continue their balanced scoring attack with their probable game starters. Their first-five lineup is projected to be Kyrie Irving (G), J.R. Smith (G), LeBron James (F), Kevin Love (F) and Tristan Thompson (C).

While on the other hand, Detroit Pistons will field Reggie Jackson (G), Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (G), Tobias Harris (F), Marcus Morris (F) and Andre Drummond (C) as the probable starters for the team.

The Pistons won three of their four encounters against the Cavaliers during the regular season. They split a pair of games at home and defeated Cleveland twice in their home court.

Drummond, who scored 20 points in their last match, must improve his free throw shootings to be more effective offensively. The NBA's rebounding leader went 4 for 16 from the foul line in Game 2.

"It'll be great to be home in front of our fans. I think the energy in the building will be good and I think that'll help us," Van Gundy said.
