Result:
LOSS

Detroit's eight-game winning streak is on the line tonight against an improved Miami club. It's the first matchup of the year between two teams that went 7 games in last year's playoffs. Tough time for Miami to face Detroit. The Pistons are rocking and playing championship ball. And, the players and their fans will certainly be up for this one. Both teams will be pumped of course. So, it comes down to skills. Detroit is MUCH better than Miami right now folks. Plain and simple. The Pistons are scoring 107 per game at home and their defense will step up to the challenge tonight. Detroit is 9-1 ATS off an ATS loss this season. At home against winning teams, the Pistons are 22-9 ATS over the past two seasons. Home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 pointsoff an home win scoring 110 or more points against opponent off a home win are 41-15 (73%) ATS over the last 5 seasons. Four stars on Detroit minus the points.
