Playing in their new Little Caesars Arena sure agrees with the Pistons. And why not? The new downtown arena is easier for their fans and gives Detroit an improved home-court edge. The Pistons have played well this season, especially at home going 6-1 at Little Caesars Arena.

The Pistons have been home for nine days. They catch the Heat on the finale of a six-game, 10-day road swing.

Miami is fat and happy winning three of their last four. The Heat's last two victories were by double-digits against the struggling offensively-challenged Jazz and bottom-feeder Suns.

Now the Heat play an Eastern Conference foe, one that has the second-best conference record at 9-3. MIami is 0-6-1 ATS in its last seven games versus Eastern opponents and has failed to cover in five of its last six road games against the Pistons.

Andre Drummond and Reggie Jackson are having nice seasons for the Pistons. This could be Drummond's best all-around season. He's leading the NBA in rebounding.

The Pistons should be motivated to close their homestand with a victory as nine of their next 11 games are on the road.
