At 2.60 odds, the Cleveland Cavaliers represented an underdog price against the Detroit Pistons in an NBA matchup on May 5, 2026. Hidden wagered $19,700 on a Cavaliers win including overtime, a position that did not land when Detroit prevailed. The loss stands in sharp contrast to Hidden's other plays on the same fixture, which included two winning moneyline bets on Detroit totaling $130,000 in combined stake and a pending $1,200,000 spread wager favoring the Pistons at minus-2.5 points. The Cavaliers selection ranked 12th by stake size among 22 captured bets on the matchup, making it a notably smaller conviction play relative to Hidden's directional lean toward Detroit across the broader ticket.

Tracked on tail.bet, the Cleveland Cavaliers account for 39 high-roller bets totaling $1.9M across NBA markets, but backers have struggled with a 39.4% win rate and negative $938,727 net result. The largest captured wager—a $361,497 single on Cavaliers versus Toronto—landed a win but could not offset broader losses.
