Miami Heat vs Detroit Pistons Prediction: Will the Heat be able to rehabilitate themselves?

Miami lost to Memphis and will now play Detroit in back-to-back games. Will the Heat be able to rehabilitate themselves?

After their big win over Boston, the team could not build on their success, losing on the road to Memphis 93:101. Tyler Hierro had 23 points and 13 rebounds. Jimmy Butler had 18 points, six rebounds, and eight assists. Miami is now 11-13 overall and just 9th in the Eastern Conference standings.

Like Miami, Detroit played its last game against Memphis. The team lost 112:122 at home. Saddiq Bey was the top scorer for the Pistons with 24 points. Detroit is 9-16 overall and in last place in the Eastern Conference. Only Orlando is lower.

Miami has all its key players in question for the upcoming game except Kyle Lowry and Bam Adebayo. So it's hard to say how much Erik Spoelstra's team will be able to reach their potential. Likely, most of the players in question won't play after all, and we won't consider a Heat win here. Let's focus on total bets. Even without its leading players, Miami can work well on defense so that the team will most likely beat the Pistons the defense. This means there will be a total under, as Detroit is not so good on offense to guarantee many points, even against the Heat squad.
