Miami Heat vs Detroit Pistons Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA
by Devesh Jaganath in NBA Predictions
The Miami Heat will play host to the Detroit Pistons at the Kaseya Center in the NBA on Tuesday night. The hosts are 34-26 and seventh in the Eastern Conference, while the visitors are 9-51 and 14th in the Conference standings.
The Detroit Pistons have been struggling lately, losing eight out of their last nine games. They're now aiming to end a two-game losing streak after a heavy defeat to the Magic, where they lost 113-91 on the road. Evan Fournier led the team with 17 points and five assists coming off the bench, while Simone Fontecchio contributed 15 points. Currently, the Pistons rank 24th in scoring in the NBA, averaging 112.1 points per game, while Miami's defense is strong, ranking fourth in points allowed per game at 109.9. Detroit shoots 47.1% from the field, placing them 18th, and they're also 18th in 3-point shooting with a 36% success rate from beyond the arc. Defensively, the Pistons have been struggling, allowing an average of 121 points per game, which is the fourth-worst in the league. Quentin Grimes is expected to be absent for this match.
On the flip side, the Miami Heat have been on fire lately, securing victories in eight of their last ten games, and will be keen to maintain their momentum following a hard-fought 126-120 home triumph against the Jazz. Jimmy Butler shone brightly, leading the team with 37 points and seven assists, shooting an impressive 12 of 19 from the field, while Bam Adebayo chipped in with 23 points, hitting 10 of 15 shots. Despite ranking 27th in scoring with an average of 110.6 points per game, the Heat face off against the Pistons, who allow the 27th most points per game in the NBA at 121. Nevertheless, Miami's standout performance this season lies in their formidable defense, conceding only 109.9 points per game, placing them sixth in the league. However, there are concerns regarding the availability of Josh Richardson, Dru Smith, and Kevin Love for this upcoming match.
