It was a rather balanced attack from Detroit\u2019s offense with four players scoring at least 19 points, including Cade Cunningham and Jalen Duren dropping 22 each.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"b3\">The Heat won two of three against the Pistons last season.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"b8\">Let\u2019s take a look at the odds, a player prop, and my prediction for Friday night\u2019s NBA matchup.<\/p>\n<p>Pistons vs. Heat Odds, Spread and Total<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"bi\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/4kJjtBu\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"bn\">Spread<\/p>\n<p>Pistons -1.5 (-102)Heat +1.5 (-118)<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"bx\">Moneyline<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"c7\">Total<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0237.5 (Over -105\/Under -115)Pistons vs. Heat How to WatchDate: Friday, Oct. 23Time: 8:00 p.m.\u00a0Venue: Kaseya CenterHow to Watch (TV): WMYD, WPLGPistons record: 1-0Heat record: 0-1Pistons vs. Heat Injury ReportsPistons Injury ReportElijah Harkless \u2013 OutIsaac Jones \u2013 OutUgonna Onyenso \u2013 OutTaurean Prince \u2013 OutHeat Injury ReportMyron Gardner \u2013 AvailableVladislav Goldin \u2013 AvailableDru Smith \u2013 AvailablePistons vs. Heat Best NBA Prop Bets<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-21\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"dl\">Pistons Best NBA Prop Bet<\/p>\n<p>Duncan Robinson OVER 15.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-115)<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-23\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"dv\">After averaging 12.2 points per game in his first year with the Pistons, Duncan Robinson came out of the gates with 21 points on 5 of 10 shooting against Boston. He also pulled down two rebounds and dished out two assists in the win.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-24\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"e0\">Robinson hit this mark in 57% of his games last season, and I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if he gets close to 15 points alone, given how streaky shooters can be. His points line is set around 11.5, after all.<\/p>\n<p>Pistons vs. Heat Prediction and Pick<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-26\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"ea\">This is a high total as far as Pistons games are concerned, but a low one for the Heat. Detroit easily flew OVER the total in its opener, though, with a 121-113 win while the total was at 218.5.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-27\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"ef\">On the other hand, the Heat went rather comfortably UNDER the set 249.5 total in their blowout loss with a total of 237 points. That\u2019s where the total is tonight, which I think is a bit low for this matchup.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-28\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"ek\">There is enough offense on both sides for a higher-scoring game tonight in Miami.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-29\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"ep\">Pick: OVER 237.5 (-115)<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-31\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"ey\">Claim the latest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/betting\/sportsbook-promos\/draftkings-promo-code\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">DraftKings promo code<\/a> offer today.
