Detroit Pistons
The Pistons have shown some improvement, winning two of their last five games, including a victory against the Toronto Raptors with a score of 113-104.
Prediction
Considering the recent struggles of both teams, coupled with the defensive prowess of the Knicks and the Pistons' inconsistent offensive performances, the under of 215.5 points is the pick for this game.
The Heat, despite their offensive capabilities, have failed to capitalize on scoring opportunities in recent matchups. The Pistons, facing challenges on the offensive end, are likely to struggle to put up points against a disciplined Heat defense.
Expect a low-scoring affair with both teams focusing on defensive execution rather than offensive fireworks.
Pick: Under 215.5
