Eastern Conference leaders look to extend their 13-game winning streak with a road win over the Boston Celtics. While Cade Cunningham is that star man for the Pistons, our money is on Jalen Duren in this game, as his odds to score 17 points are just too attractive to ignore. Let's get into our Boston Celtics vs Detroit Pistons match prediction.

Duren is making the second-highest points per game for the Pistons at 20.3, but it's also the sheer number of times he has cleared 17 points this season that got us backing his bet. In his 15 games of the campaign, Duren has scored 17+ points in 11 games, and he's been particularly hot in recent games.

His 17 against now makes it eight games in a row where Duren has scored over 16.5 points. He's also cleared this line in ten of his last 11 games. He's doing all this with just 28.9 minutes averaged per game this season, showing just how efficient he's been in the paint.

If he gets anywhere near 30 minutes, there's no doubt Duren can make 17 or even cross his 20.3-point season average. In fact, the Pistons and Celtics have clashed once this season, and Jalen Duren scored a more-than-impressive 24 points in just 28 minutes.
