Miami @ Detroit

Current Records: Miami 38-34; Detroit 16-55

What to Know

This Sunday, the Detroit Pistons are hoping to patch up the holes in a defense that has allowed an average of 118.58 points per game. They will take on the Miami Heat at 6 p.m. ET Sunday at Little Caesars Arena after having had a few days off. Given that these two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.

The Pistons received a tough blow this past Thursday as they fell 119-100 to the Denver Nuggets. Shooting guard Jaden Ivey had a pretty forgettable game, playing for 35 minutes with 4-for-15 shooting and four turnovers.

Meanwhile, the matchup between Miami and the Chicago Bulls this past Saturday was not a total blowout, but with Miami falling 113-99 on the road, it was darn close to turning into one. A silver lining for the Heat was the play of small forward Jimmy Butler, who had 24 points in addition to seven rebounds.

Detroit is expected to lose this next one by 9.5. Now might not be the best time to take Detroit against the spread since they’ve let down bettors for the past two consecutive games.

Everything went Detroit’s way against Miami in the teams’ previous meeting last December as they made off with a 116-96 win. Will the Pistons repeat their success, or does Miami have a better game plan this time around? We’ll find out soon enough.
