Wednesday night NBA features a battle between two out East foes that are part of the second-tier group out East that won’t likely earn a top-three seed, yet are in prime position to pull ahead of the pack and earn home-court advantage as the fourth-best squad in the conference.
The catch, of course, is that being in this tier means a few loses can bump you out of the playoff picture altogether.
With a little more than half the season still to go, teams shouldn’t be worrying about the postseason just yet. That said, every loss will count when it’s all said and done, and matchups like this one between the Heat and Pistons could be more important in April than we realized here in January.
Detroit Pistons
The Pistons enter this game scoring 102.1 points per contest. That number puts them in the 23rd ranked spot in the NBA.
The good news, however, is that they’re slightly better when it comes to offensive efficiency. Detroit averages 104.1 points per 100 possessions, which puts them at 18th in the league.

Defensively, Detroit is allowing opponents to put up 101.4 points per night. That number is great, and good enough for fourth in the league.
The even better news is that it’s not all that misleading, as raw numbers sometimes have a tendency to be.
So far this season, the Pistons are giving up just 103.9 points per night—a number that puts them at eighth in the Association in defensive efficiency.
