Miami Heat vs Detroit Pistons: Current situation
This is quite possibly the worst stretch of basketball that the Miami Heat have played in this decade. They’ve lost 8 games in a row, posting a Net Rating of -13.1 points while also having the worst offensive rating in the entire NBA during this stretch. To make matters worse they don’t have any significant injuries at the moment either, which makes the situation even more puzzling.
With a 38-31 record the Pistons have all but secured a playoff berth this season, for the first time since the days Blake Griffin wore their uniform. Cade Cunningham is in the running for Most Improved Player as well, he is posting career high numbers across the board and the team record backs it up. It is also interesting to note that the Pistons have a better win record in road games than home games this season.
Miami Heat Stats & Form
For the 3rd game in a row the Heat were unable to cross the century mark in the scoring department as the Knicks blew them out 116-95 this past Monday. That means that their offensive efficiency numbers have dropped even further, to just 103.7 points scored per 100 possessions over the past 8 games played. As a unit they shot just 6-for-23 from three-point land in the loss, while also committing 20 turnovers.
Detroit Pistons Stats & Form
The Pistons made the most out of Trey Murphy’s shoulder injury as they took down the New Orleans Pelicans 127-81 on Monday. The injury sucked the life out of the Pelicans early, Detroit had built up a double-digit lead in the first quarter and never looked back. That gave the starters a lot more rest time, only Cade Cunningham logged 30 minutes in the win, scoring 24 points and dishing out 8 assists.
Miami Heat vs Detroit Pistons: Head-to-Head

Prior to those 2 wins, Miami had a run of 7 wins in a row in head-to-head meetings, sweeping the regular season series last year. This will be the 132nd regular season meeting all time between the two teams.

Betting tip and prediction: Miami Heat vs Detroit Pistons (19.03.2025)
The collapse of the Miami Heat is happening in real time and nobody seems to be able figure out why. They just lost their 8th game in a row, getting destroyed by the New York Knicks 116-95 at Madison Square Garden. If you are head coach Erik Spoelstra it is time to sound the alarm bells as the Heat are now 10th in the East standings, just barely making it into the play-in tournament. It doesn’t get any easier with the Detroit Pistons coming to town, these are truly desperate times for the Miami Heat. Andrew Wiggins and Alec Burks re listed as questionable, while Nikola Jovic is definitely out. Meanwhile, the Pistons have a relatively clean slate when it comes to injuries, with only Jaden Ivey missing this game. Unlike the Heat they’ve been in solid form lately winning 13 of 18 games which has them in the 6th spot as of today. Even the 4th seed isn’t out of the question with the Bucks and Pacers being just 1 game ahead, so there’s an added incentive for the Pistons to play well here. Head-to-head meetings have also gone the Pistons way this season, with them winning 2 of 3. Cade Cunningham is the head of the snake – he had himself a triple double in the last meeting vs Miami with 20 points, 11 rebounds and a staggering 18 assists. The Heat’s biggest issues are on the defensive end this season, so don’t be surprised if Cade repeats a similar stat line on Wednesday. Until the Heat get something going, we re staying away from them. Back Detroit here.
