The Detroit Pistons (27-30) head into the second game of their back-to-back to be played in South Beach against the Miami Heat (26-31) at American Airlines Arena. Coming off of a hot start to post-All Star NBA action, the Pistons look to build on Friday night’s win against the Atlanta Hawks with a win against the Heat who are only a game out of eighth place behind Detroit.
The Pistons and the Heat met two times this season already and have split those meetings with the average margin of victory at five points. There was less on the line in those days.
