The Detroit Pistons host the Miami Heat on Tuesday at the Palace of Auburn Hills. Both these teams snapped losing streaks in their previous outings. The Heat won outright as an underdog in Boston thanks to a 20 and nine performance from Hassan Whiteside. The Pistons meanwhile got an impressive win at home over the favoured Houston squad. While both teams are feeling good about themselves, it will be the Pistons that have the upper hand and should get the win.

Here are my keys to the game:

Pistons guards stepping up- The Pistons have had to deal with the loss Brandon Jennings and finally the other guards are starting to pick it up. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope had 28 points while D.J. Augustin added 28 and 10 in the win over Houston.

Pistons advantage inside- Andre Drummond and Greg Monroe are big guys in the post and help the Pistons to average 45.7 rebounds per game on the season. The Heat is a lot smaller down low and average just 37 rebounds per game which is 30th in the NBA.

X-Factor- Greg Monroe had 19 points, 12 rebounds and a block on 7-of-12 shooting in Saturday's win over the Rockets and has now had four straight double-doubles.

Selection: This is a 1* Free play on the Detroit Pistons.
