The Detroit Pistons begin their 2026-27 NBA campaign by welcoming the Boston Celtics to Little Caesars Arena on Tuesday evening. The Pistons have won four of their last five games against the Celtics and are likely to extend their dominant record against the visitors. Our prediction is in the home team's favour.
The Detroit Pistons rounded off their regular-season campaign on a high last season, finishing top of the Eastern Conference standings with a 60–22 record. Their postseason campaign ended in the conference semifinals, where they fell 4–3 to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
J. B. Bickerstaff’s charges will be out for a winning start to the campaign as they eye another strong run in the league this season. The Pistons won three of their four NBA preseason games, including a 129–125 victory over the Toronto Raptors on Friday evening. They have also defeated the Boston Celtics four times in their last five NBA meetings.
The Boston Celtics finished four games behind the Detroit Pistons in the Eastern Conference standings last season with a 56–26 record. They couldn't make it past the playoffs First Round, suffering a 4–3 series defeat to the Philadelphia 76ers.
The Celtics won all four of their NBA preseason games, including a 125–120 overtime victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday evening. However, Tuesday's cracker will test Joe Mazzulla’s side’s perfect run in the October games. They have lost their last three NBA away games against Detroit.
