The Detroit Pistons travel to South Beach on Wednesday looking to extend the Miami Heat’s misery to nine games.
The Pistons snapped a two-game skid with a 127-81 blowout win over the New Orleans Pelicans on March 17. Detroit imposed their will on both ends of the floor, shooting 54 percent from the field and holding the Pelicans to an ice-cold 32 percent field goal shooting. Cade Cunningham carried the starting five with 24 points and 8 assists. He was the only player on the Pistons starting five to score in double figures. Thankfully, the Pistons’ bench came to the rescue as Simone Fontecchio contributed 23 points while Malik Beasley, Dennis Schroder and Ronald Holand scored at least 10 points.
Things have gone south since the Heat traded Jimmy Butler to the Golden State Warriors. In March, the Heat has plunged to a 1-9 record with their lone win this month coming from one of the worst teams in the East standing, the Washington Wizards. Andrew Wiggins, the centerpiece of the trade package from the Warriors, did not play the Heat’s 95-116 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies due to a leg injury.

Our Miami Heat vs Detroit Pistons Prediction
With an 11-4-1 ATS record in the last 16 games, the Pistons march into Wednesday’s game vs. the Heat as an enticing bet to cover the spread. The main reason I pick Detroit to cover is their 7-1 ATS record against the Heat in their last 8 head-to-head meetings. Will this matter heading into their upcoming match? Of course, it will. The Pistons are on the verge of returning to the playoffs this year, with Cade Cunningham emerging as an All-Star and the leader of this up-and-coming team.
Meanwhile, the Heat are in disarray following a bad breakup with Butler, who had served the heart and soul of the Heat’s culture during their playoff runs in this decade. Scoring problems have also plagued Miami in their last three games, where they scored below 100 points in each game. Detroit has beaten Miami in their last two meetings by a small margin, but NBA experts think they will dominate in their regular-season series finale with the skidding Heat. Our betting prediction for the Miami Heat vs. Detroit Pistons: Pistons will cover -5.5 points.
