The Detroit Pistons will be looking to break their season-long three-game losing streak as they visit the Miami Heat tonight.
Detroit is still far from completely healthy and faces a team that has won four straight, so I’m taking Miami to win in my Pistons vs. Heat predictions.
Let’s take a closer look at this Eastern Conference showdown in my free NBA picks for Sunday, March 8.
Pistons vs Heat prediction
Pistons vs Heat best bet: Heat moneyline (+110)
The Detroit Pistons suffered one of their worst losses of the year last night, losing 107-105 to the Nets. Cade Cunningham and Ausar Thompson both missed that game, and while they may play tonight, it’s unclear how limited they might be.
Detroit is playing banged up and in the second half of a back-to-back against a rested Miami Heat team that has won four straight.
The Heat have one win against the Pistons this year and played Detroit tough in both meetings. The way these teams are playing right now, I like Miami to win outright at home.
