The Pistons dominated the Heat in their first meeting this season, winning 104-81 at the Palace. In that game, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope completely shut down Dwyane Wade, holding him to just two points on 1-9 shooting.
Keeping Wade under control will definitely be a point of emphasis in tonight’s game plan, but the Heat have some other weapons to worry about too. Here are a few things to pay attention to:
Andre Drummond vs. Hassan Whiteside
It is always exciting to watch two of the NBA’s best young big men square off. Both Drummond and Whiteside are having excellent seasons thus far, and it couldn’t come at a better time as both players are expected to sign long term contracts during the upcoming off season.
