Our Detroit Pistons vs Boston Celtics Prediction
Fearless Forecast: The Celtics evened the series at 2-2 by edging the Pistons 113-108
Reason: The Celtics understand the magnitude of this game for their morale. Jaylen Brown has been unstoppable this season, averaging almost 30 points per game on 49 percent field goal shooting. Boston will heavily rely on their star scorer, but don’t forget that this team has a handful of players (Derrick White, Anfernee Simmons, Sam Hausser) who drop big-time numbers on any given day. Moreover, Boston is 7-2 SU in its last 9 games when playing on the road against Detroit and 13-3 SU in its last 16 games against Detroit. In short, they have Detroit’s number. Of course, the Pistons will not give up the win so easily. Expect Cunningham, Jalen Duren, and the rest of the crew to challenge Boston from start to finish.
Our betting prediction for the Boston Celtics vs. the Detroit Pistons: The Celtics will win.
