T.M. Selection: Pistons/Heat over.

Detroit has nothing to play for here right? That's true in the big picture, as the Pistons are just 9-51 overall. They've lost two straight after their most recent 113-91 setback at Orlando. They're in tank mode for the most part looking for draft picks, but there will be moments in the season where it makes sense and the value is there to back Detroit. And here I'm expecting them to play Miami tight. They did the last time they were here, losing 103-102 as 9.5-point dogs back in October. That total went under the number, but with Miami pushing the pace like I suspect here on Tuesday, I believe the final combined score will fly well over the posted total. The Heat have had two whole nights off after a 126-120 win over Utah here, and I expect a similar final combined score in this one as well.

T.M. Prediction: 120-110 Miami.
