Heat 116, Pistons 109

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no value on the Heat (-375) to beat the winless Pistons on Monday.

Against the spread

LEAN PISTONS +8.5 (-105).

While Detroit has yet to find a win, 2 of its 3 losses have come by 6 points, including Saturday’s loss against the reigning champion Celtics. Behind Ivey and Cunningham, the Pistons can stay within range of covering. Miami has allowed 106 or more points in both its games this season and lost its only home game while also playing as a favorite.

Miami has allowed 106 or more points in both games this season and scored 114 in Saturday’s win. Detroit has allowed 113 or more points in each game this season while scoring 109 or more in 2 of its 3. Expect a fast-paced game with the Heat leading the way to the Over.
