Predictions, Odds, and Betting Preview for the Miami Heat vs Detroit Pistons NBA Regular Season Game on April 4, 2023
- Where: Little Caesars Arena, Detroit, Michigan
- When: Tuesday, April 4, 2023, 7:00 PM E.T.
Betting on the Miami Heat
- Regular Season Record: 41-37
The South Florida squad secured a crucial victory last Saturday, beating the Dallas Mavericks 129-122 on their home court. Not only did this result put them in seventh place in the Eastern Conference, but it also ended a three-game losing streak. However, it won’t be a walk in the park for the Heat this week, as they have three consecutive away games before their regular season finale at home next Sunday.
Jimmy Butler was the star of the last game against the Dallas Mavericks, scoring 35 points and sinking 12 of 16 shots. He was almost perfect from the free-throw line, making 10 out of 11 attempts. So far, Butler has averaged 22.8 points and 5.3 assists this season.
Betting on the Detroit Pistons
- Regular Season Record: 16-61
The Detroit Pistons are back in their home court after their visit to Orlando Magic on Sunday. But, let’s be honest, things aren’t looking good for Detroit, as it has lost eight consecutive games, allowing at least 110 points in seven of those eight matches. With 61 losses in 77 games, they hold the worst record in the league and are already looking towards the next draft.
After this Heat vs Pistons showdown, they will play three more games to complete the season. Plus, their offense is the third worst, averaging only 110.7 points per game. Meanwhile, their defense is the fourth weakest in the entire competition, allowing 118.6 points per game.
JefeBet Prediction
Clearly, the Miami Heat enters this Heat vs Pistons game as the heavy favorite with a better record, fighting for their place in the postseason, and even having an extra day of rest and preparation since they played on Saturday, unlike the Detroit Pistons who played on Sunday.
It’s possible that Miami’s second-best defense in the league, allowing only 109.9 points per game, will shut down one of the least efficient offenses in the competition. Therefore, at JefeBet, we believe that the Heat should win this Heat vs Pistons game without too much trouble in their quest to make it to the Play-In.
Prediction: Miami Heat Moneyline (MIA 118-101 DET).
