# Home Team: Miami Heat (1 win, 1 loss)
Last season, Miami finished 8th in the Eastern Conference. In their last game (10/27), they recorded a 114-106 victory against the Charlotte Hornets in an away match, and in their first game (10/24), they lost at home to the Orlando Magic, 97-116. The statistics showed rebounds (43-46), turnovers (13-17), and three-pointers (14 made - 13 made). Terry Rozier (19 points) continued his good performance for the second consecutive game, while Jimmy Butler (26 points) and Tyler Herro (22 points), who struggled in the season opener, stepped up as key players in this match. They showcased solid defense in crucial moments, and Bam Adebayo’s rebounds and field goals came at important times.
# Away Team: Detroit Pistons (3 losses)
Last season, Detroit finished 15th in the Eastern Conference. In their previous game (10/27), they faced the Boston Celtics at home and lost 118-124. In the game prior (10/26), they lost 101-113 against the Cleveland Cavaliers on the road. The statistics included rebounds (44-38), turnovers (14-10), and three-pointers (14 made - 22 made). Cade Cunningham (21 points, 10 assists) and Jaden Ivey (26 points) performed admirably, and they felt the positive impact of veteran Tobias Harris, who can lead the young players. However, they lost momentum due to turnovers and lacked stamina in the game. Their defense, especially in paint protection, became an issue, and their perimeter, secondary, and transition defenses fell apart, leading to a lack of energy for a comeback. Additionally, they showed a tendency to allow easy points with one-on-one drives.
# Head-to-Head Features
In the most recent matchup, Miami won 104-101 away.
They are currently on a 6-game winning streak against Detroit.
# Injuries
Miami Heat: Kevin Love (Grade B), Richardson (Grade C)
Detroit: Bobby Clintman (Grade D), Osar Thompson (Grade D)
# Betting Recommendation
With a 6-game winning streak against this opponent, Miami's system basketball, which accurately identifies the strengths and weaknesses of their opponents, will likely show its effectiveness through tailored defensive tactics and player matchups. However, it should also be noted that despite having set the NBA record for the longest losing streak at 27 games, Detroit still has yet to secure a win this season, even though they displayed improved performance against Boston.
◎ Most Likely Pick => Miami Heat Victory
