The Miami Heat have been one of the best teams in the NBA against the spread this season and they’ll travel to face the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday evening. 

Despite dropping its last game to the Washington Wizards, Miami has still won four of five games. The Pistons, who blew a major lead against the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday, are looking to improve on a dismal 4-12 record. 

Here are the odds for Tuesday’s game via WynnBET:

  • Heat: -9.5 (-110)
  • Pistons: +9.5 (-110)

Moneyline:

  • Heat: -500
  • Pistons: +400

Total:

  • 207.0 (Over -110/Under -110)

Heat vs. Pistons Prediction and Pick

Miami has been one of the best teams against the spread this season, and it has also put up the second best over record in the NBA. Detroit, despite its 28th ranked offensive rating, is actually 8-8 on overs this season despite averaging less than 100 points per game. 

Miami’s games have gone over 207 points in 10 of its last 13, and while the Pistons don’t score a ton of points, they do play at a faster pace than expected (17th) this season. Detroit has also seen an uptick on offense with Cade Cunningham in the starting lineup, as it has scored over 100 points in four of its last five matchups. 

Detroit is No. 24 in the league in defensive rating, which means things should come fairly easy for Miami on offense after a grind-it-out loss to the Wizards its last time out. 

Pick: Heat-Pistons OVER 207.0 (-110)
