Detroit at Miami

There is something said about teams that win a Championship the previous season, as it seems like the regular season just becomes an exhibition season. It seems that they win games at a rate to get back, but the focus is certainly lacking. The Heat appear to have fallen prey to that trap. They are just 7-6 in their last 13 games, and 4-9 against the number. Meanwhile, Detroit were out of the gate at 0-8, and are the better team of late at 9-5 over their last 14 games. They are getting positive minutes from their No. 1 pick in the draft, Andre Drummond, and they have suffered just one loss by more than 7 points in their last 14. Make the play on Detroit.
