Preview
The Miami Heat will play their 6th straight game at home when they host the Detroit Pistons on Monday. This is the third time these teams face off this season, Miami has the lead 2-1.

In their last 10 games the Pistons are 5-5, averaging 109.5 points, 44.3 rebounds, 24.6 assists, 6.0 steals and 4.5 blocks per game while shooting 45.3% from the field. Their opponents have averaged 111.4 points.

BETTING TRENDS
Detroit are 5-0-1 ATS in their last 6 games.
Detroit are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games against Miami.
Miami are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games.
The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Miami's last 6 games.
Prediction
All of the last 3 head to head games this season have been close games, so there is should be a reason why the oddsmakers are putting this spread so high. If Cunningham doesn't play things could get very ugly for the Pistons, they're 1-13 this season playing without him. I'm taking the Heat to cover.
PICK: Heat -13 (-110)
