Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) leans the Pistons to cover versus the Heat:

"Detroit is coming off a 46-point win and rested a majority of their players from the third quarter on against the Pelicans, while Miami lost its eight-straight game. Miami is struggling to compete for four full quarters, so this is a Detroit or pass spot."
