The Miami Heat look to continue their six-game win streak against the Detroit Pistons Saturday at 8:00 p.m. EST inside Kaseya Center.
After a 13-game win streak, Detroit enters on a two-game losing streak, including a tough three-point loss to the Orlando Magic at home on Friday night. Cade Cunningham did have a 39-point, 13-rebound, 11-assist triple double, however, his second triple-double of the season.
Detroit rests atop the East at 15-4, two games ahead of Miami (13-6). The Heat has not squared off with the Pistons this season. They went just 1-3 against them last year after sweeping the season series in 2023-24 (when Detroit won just 14 games).
In its most recent outing, Miami secured a 106-103 win over the Milwaukee Bucks. It has a pair of three-point wins over the Dallas Mavericks and Bucks, respectively, since Tyler Herro’s return.
The Heat’s six-game win-streak is their fifth win streak of six games or more since the 2017-18 season. Will they be able to get to seven? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
