The Detroit Pistons are on the road on Wednesday night as they travel to the Kaseya Center to take on the struggling Miami Heat on national television.
Detroit enters Wednesday's contest coming off a dominant victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday that was the second-largest win in franchise history as they defeated New Orleans by 46 points.
They will look to keep things rolling on Wednesday against a Heat team that has lost eight consecutive games and has fallen to 10th in the Eastern Conference standings.
The Pistons will also enter Wednesday's matchup as the much healthier team as they have listed just one player on their injury report.

Detroit has ruled out Jaden Ivey who continues to recover from a broken left fibula but the Pistons did announce that he could return if they are able to make a deep playoff run this season.
While the Pistons will enter Wednesday's game almost fully healthy, the same cannot be said about the Heat as they have four players listed on their injury report.
Andrew Wiggins headlines Miami's injury report as he is listed as questionable due to a left lower leg contusion. Wiggins missed Monday's loss to the New York Knicks and he is in danger of being sidelined once again on Wednesday.

Alec Burks is also listed as questionable due to a back injury that has kept him out since March 5.
Miami has also ruled out Nikola Jovic who could miss the remainder of the season after undergoing surgery to repair the fractured second metacarpal on his right hand.
Dru Smith has also been ruled out as he will miss the remainder of the season due to a torn Achilles.
With the Heat possibly being without Wiggins, the Pistons will look to extend Miami's losing streak to nine games as Detroit looks to continue to climb the Eastern Conference standings.
Fans can catch Wednesday's matchup between the Pistons and Heat at 7:30 p.m. EST on ESPN.
