Detroit Pistons at Boston Celtics Preview & Picks
Detroit Pistons at Boston Celtics Preview & Picks
Detroit are tipped to cover as a double digit underdog against the defending champions.
Boston are expected to win, but their spread record is poor and they have failed to cover in their two previous meetings with the Pistons this season.
- Boston Celtics are 2-8-0 ATS in their last 10 games
- Boston Celtics are 5-10-0 ATS in their last 15 games as a double digit favorite
- Detroit Pistons are 2-0-0 ATS against Boston this season
- The Over cashed in the 2 previous meetings this season
Head To Head
- Boston Celtics lead the all-time series 279-161
- Boston Celtics won 130-120 when the two teams last met on December 4
Detroit Pistons Form
Detroit head to Boston looking to follow up on the victory in New York, which was only their third in their last 10 games.
The Pistons lost three straight in the second half of November, losing 122-112 at home to Chicago before falling to road defeats in Charlotte, 123-121, and Orlando, 111-100.
They avoided a fourth straight loss, beating Toronto 102-100 at home, only to then lose 131-111 when they visited Memphis.
Detroit responded immediately by winning 130-106 in Indiana, but they failed to back that up as they lost back-to-back home games, 111-96 to Philadelphia and 129-107 to Milwaukee.
The Pistons then lost 13-120 in Boston, before moving on to New York where they snapped their skid with a 120-111 victory.
Boston Celtics Form
Boston enter this matchup on the back of a defeat, but in good form with 10 wins from their previous 12 games.
The Celtics began this sequence with a seven-game win streak that was sparked by a 139-114 victory on Brooklyn.
That run was ended by a 115-111 defeat to Cleveland, but they rebounded immediately to win their next three matchups.
Boston returned home to blow out Miami, 108-89, before beating Detroit 130-120 and Milwaukee 111-105.
The Celtics failed to make it four home wins in a row though, as they were beaten 127-121 by Memphis last Saturday.
Verdict
Boston are the better team, but backing them in the spread market offers little appeal right now.
The Celtics have struggled to cover the number all season long, including two previous meetings with Detroit, so give us the Pistons and the points.
