Miami Heat and Detroit Pistons head-to-head record
The Heat and the Pistons have battled closely in their previous five meetings, with the Pistons winning their last two games by slim margins, 125-124 on the 17th of December 2024, and 123-121 on November 13, 2024. But in their prior meetings, the Heat won handily, including back-to-back victories in March 2024 and a 106-98 triumph on October 29, 2024. While the Heat count on Tyler Herro's scoring and Bam Adebayo's defensive presence, the Pistons have demonstrated their offensive prowess, highlighted by Cade Cunningham's scoring and Jalen Duren's dominance on the boards. Detroit might be a serious threat because of their shooting advantage and recent success in close games. Miami's strong defense, though, might keep this game close, particularly if they can lessen Cunningham's influence.
