The Detroit Pistons and the Miami Heat are set to lock horns at Little Caesars Arena in an NBA clash. The Pistons lead at the top of the Eastern Conference standings, while the Heat are in seventh place. Here's our match prediction.
The Detroit Pistons managed to end their two-match losing streak in the NBA. Their recent match against the Los Angeles Lakers saw them secure a 128-106 away victory.
Cade Cunningham led the team with 27 points, grabbed five rebounds, and dished out 11 assists. Four more players scored in double digits.
The Pistons are at home this time and hope to start the new year with a positive outcome. At the Little Caesars Arena, they've won five consecutive matches. This shouldn't come as a surprise for a side that boasts the second-best home record this season.
The Miami Heat ended 2025 on a positive note. A 147-123 home victory against the Denver Nuggets marked their third consecutive win. This comes after losing three straight games.
Norman Powell was the standout player in that match, scoring a game-high 25 points. Nikola Jovic contributed 22 points.
In unfamiliar territory, their performance has left much to be desired. They have lost five of their last seven outings and were recently on a two-match losing streak before their triumph against the Hawks.
