The Detroit Pistons will be hoping to secure their first win of the 2024-25 NBA season when they head to the Kaseya Center to face the Miami Heat on Tuesday morning. The Heat are fifth in the Eastern Conference, while the Pistons are bottom of the standings. Let’s get into the match prediction. 

The Miami Heat kicked off the season with a defeat against the Magic but bounced back well in their second match to down the Hornets on the road 114-106 over the weekend. 

Jimmy Butler put in a big performance against Charlotte, draining 26 points, eight rebounds and eight assists, while Tyler Herro contributed 22 points and five assists in the victory. 

Miami are now averaging 42.9% shooting accuracy, 36.8% from beyond the arc, 73.7% from the free-throw line, and are pulling down 42 rebounds per game. 

Meanwhile, the Detroit Pistons are still searching for their first win of the new season following losses to the Pacers, Cavaliers, and most recently, the Boston Celtics on Sunday. 

However, with the exception of the road loss to the Cavs, it should be noted that the Pistons were extremely competitive in the other two games, particularly against the Celts. 

As a team, Detroit are averaging 105 PPG, and are converting 46.3% of their shots, including 34.6% from long range and 80.6% from the free-throw line.
