Pre-match view
Detroit's continuity and opening win give it the better of a close call in Miami, though Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo keep the Heat live in a tight game.
No player forecasts are carried, so rotation minutes stay unresolved.
Miami's rebuilt rotation around Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo meets a Detroit team built on Cade Cunningham, Jalen Duren and a settled returning core, making the frontcourt rebounding battle and Miami's half-court spacing the decisive sporting questions.
NBA rules: full-game winner, handicap and totals include overtime. The 48-minute result, halves and quarters exclude it.
