The Heat will travel to Detroit to face the Pistons in the midst of a 4-game winning streak where they will seek their fifth against the Pistons. It will be the third of the season between the Heat and Pistons, the last being a thrilling game at Little Caesars Arena where the Pistons won 123-121 in overtime, snapping a streak that the Heat had of beating the Pistons of 7 straight games.

Neither of them has played since last Thursday. The Pistons were unable to do much at TD Garden to stop the Celtics' 3-point production, who managed to get a maximum lead of 32 points over the Pistons. Holland led the Pistons with 26 points and Cade Cunningham had an 18-point night, snapping the streak he had of 7 straight games scoring 20 or more points.

That same night, the Heat fell 0.5 points short of covering the bookies' -10.5 point spread they had in Miami against the Raptors. Toronto had a lead of 16 points over the Heat, but a strong performance under the glass with 52 rebounds and collecting the 24 personal fouls committed against them by the Raptors allowed the Heat to turn the game around.

Our Detroit Pistons vs Miami Heat Prediction

Adebayo had a great game against the Raptors on a Heat team that even without a brilliant Butler can win convincingly. Against Boston's triples, there was little that the Pistons could do at TD Garden to avoid falling, now they will face the Heat that is coming back in that category and is 4th in the NBA in 3PY FG%. Miami is undefeated this season at 5-0 when given more than two days' rest, so a night of covering in Detroit seems possible. Our prediction for Heat vs Pistons is: Heat -4.

Prediction:

 

Heat -4
