Pistons vs. Heat Odds & Betting Predictions - March 6, 2024

The Pistons take on the Miami Heat tonight in what is on paper a tough matchup for Duren against Bam Adebayo. Whoever, due to Bam’s versatility he’s often found outside of the paint which gives Duren the opportunity to clean up the glass. In their prior meeting this season, Duren grabbed 14 rebounds and contributed 4 assists as well. While there are some concerns with playing alongside Isaiah Stewart, Duren has still eclipsed this 12.5 RA line in 64% of games with him while averaging 14.4 RA. This is a nice opportunity as a buy low off of a pair of brutal matchups against the Cavaliers and the Magic. On the season, Duren is averaging the 11.8 rebounds on 19.1 chances to go along with 2.6 assists on 4 potentials per game. In a matchup where he may have difficulty scoring, he can set up some of Detroit’s shooting threats to rack up the dimes and in the prior matchup against Miami he tallied 4 assists on 8 potentials. I expect Duren to exceed 12.5 RA tonight.
