Last Game For Heat:

The Miami Heat improved to .500 on the season after defeating the Cleveland Cavaliers 133-121 on Friday night in NBA Cup group play. Bam Adebayo and Giannis Antetokounmpo led the way offensively, each recording 37 points, with Adebayo adding 14 rebounds and Antetokounmpo contributing nine rebounds and two assists. Davion Mitchell also delivered a career performance, finishing with 22 points and tying his career high with 17 assists while stepping into an increased role with Pelle Larsson and Klay Thompson sidelined. Rookie guard Ryan Conwell made the most of his additional playing time as well, scoring 20 points to give Miami another offensive boost and help pull away in the fourth quarter.

Last Game For Pistons:

The Pistons are coming off a thrilling overtime road victory over the Washington Wizards on Thursday night, defeating Washington 144-140. All-Star guard Cade Cunningham led the way with a career-high 52 points along with 11 rebounds. Detroit is among the top teams in the Eastern Conference with their 8-3 overall record. Former Heat wing Duncan Robinson is among the team's leading scorers and he has been one of the league's most efficient three-point shooters.

Players to Watch:

For the Heat, Mitchell is the player to watch heading into this game. He's coming off a career night in terms of efficiency and there will be a heavier load for Mitchell to carry in the backcourt yet again. He rose to the occasion on Friday and if he can perform similar, the Heat will be in a better spot to advance above the .500 marker.

For the Pistons, Cunningham is the player to watch. He has been fantastic this season and is on his way to earning another All-NBA nod. He is averaging north of 25 points this season and the Heat's defense will need to be on high alert when guarding him.
