Detroit at Miami

December 23, 2021
img7:40 PM Eastern
Game of the Month

Miami tied a franchise record with 22 made 3-pointers in its 125-96 win over Indiana on Tuesday and that is not likely to happen two games in a row while the Pacers shot only 35.6 percent overall in that game. Detroit beat the Heat 100-90 on Sunday when Miami his only 28 of 74 shots for 37.8 percent. The Pistons have covered the spread both meetings this season and surprisingly Detroit is 9-1 ATS its last 10 games following an ATS loss and 8-2 ATS after losing by at least 10 points. Miami has covered just once its last five games as a favorite and two of eight after a win. Look for Detroit to keep this one within the number. Take the points with the Pistons as my NBA Game of the Month.
