INJURY TO WATCH
Pistons backup point guard Langston Galloway is dealing with a head injury but is expected to play tonight. For the Heat, Wayne Ellington and Tyler Johnson are both doubtful to play as they are dealing with quadriceps injuries.
BETTING STRATEGY
The Pistons are coming off a 115-106 overtime loss at Orlando last night. On the season, Detroit is a dreadful 9-20 on the road. The Pistons have won two of the three meetings this season, but those were both on their home court. In the one game at Miami, it was the Heat who prevailed 111-104. Look for Miami to take advantage of a more fatigued Pistons squad and even the season series at two games apiece.
