Prediction published on 16/12/2024, 01:01  by Steve Ashfield | Modified on 16/12/2024 at 01:10 in NBA Predictions

Miami Heat travel to the Detroit Pistons looking to stay in the automatic play-off positions. They are second in the Southeast division of the Eastern Conference. Their opponents are struggling at the bottom of the Central Division. Here’s our match prediction.

Miami have a season record of 13-10 and on the road have won five of their 11 matches. They have played less games than the two sides above them in the overall Eastern Conference table (Orlando Magic and the New York Knicks) and another win here will further boost their play-off qualification hopes.

Their last four matches have all ended in victory, most recently beating the Toronto Raptors at home by a ten-point margin.

The Detroit Pistons have a 10-16 season record and are 11th in the overall Eastern Conference. Their most recent match saw them lose at the Boston Celtics by 24 points. They still have hopes of making it into the play-in matches and are only one win behind the Brooklyn Nets.

However, they have lost four of their last five matches and have only won four of their 11 home matches this season. Miami Heat look to be in the better form at present and they can get the win here.
