The Detroit Pistons will hit the road to take on the Boston Celtics tonight in the TD Garden.
Detroit is coming off a win over the OKC Thunder, turning in one of their best defensive performances of the season in the second half.
It will take more than one good half of defense to beat the Boston Celtics , who are 7-3 and looking for their 4th win in a row with Jason Tatum playing like an MVP candidate.
Detroit is a huge underdog in this one, but played Boston tough last season, so can they get over the hump and beat the Celtics on the road?
Here’s all of the information you need.
Detroit Pistons vs Boston Celtics: Odds, Spread, Over/Under
Detroit is 11.5 point underdogs on the road according to FanDuel, which would represent the second-highest spread of the season.
The money lines are set at +480 for Detroit and -650 for Boston and the over/under is a combined 226 points.
The Pistons have the 26th ranked defense in the NBA and the Celtics are sitting at 18th. The two teams are giving up a combined 231.9 points per game on average, so I like the over in this one even though Detroit’s offense has mostly struggled.
Pistons injury report
Both Marvin Bagley III and Alec Burks have been upgraded to doubtful and questionable, respectively, which is good news for Detroit, as their bench needs big help.
The Celtics will be missing Danilo Gallinari and Robert Williams III.
Detroit Pistons vs. Boston Celtics: Prediction
It’s hard to see the Detroit going on the road and beating a very good Celtics team, but they did play Boston tough last year even though they only beat them once in four games. The only way Boston loses this one is if they don’t show up or decide to rest some of their guys, but I do like Detroit to cover this spread and keep it close until the 4th quarter.
Detroit 112, Boston 120
