The Heat have stabilized somewhat, it appears. Meanwhile, Detroit's winning streak has come mostly at home and against weak opposition, and the long layoff (last game 11/25) may not be such a great thing for them -- they were also off from Nov 11-15 and came out on the 15th laying an egg at home against a Hornets team that had played the night before.
+150 ML on what I see as a coin flip? I'll take a little of that, at least.
