The new NBA season begins on Tuesday with a 3-game slate, one of which will include an Eastern Conference matchup between the Detroit Pistons and the Boston Celtics. Let’s take a look at the match statistics and predictions for this game between the Pistons and the Celtics.
Boston enters this game, having finished 56-26 last season. Despite being the #2 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs, the Celtics were upset in the first round by the Philadelphia 76ers in 7 games. Boston now enters this season having lost one of their best players, that being Jaylen Brown, in a trade that brought in Paul George.
As for Detroit, they enter this game coming off a season where they finished with a record of 60-22. The Pistons were the top seed in the Eastern Conference, but lost in the Conference Semifinals to the Cleveland Cavaliers in 7 games. This season, Detroit looks to be just as strong, with the core of their young players returning.

Our Detroit Pistons vs Boston Celtics Prediction
Boston is the small favorite in this game; however, Detroit looks to be the best betting option. Most notably, the Pistons were one of the best teams at home last season, going 31-9. Further, the Pistons beat the Celtics in three of the four regular-season meetings last season.
Additionally, the loss of Jaylen Brown was a huge blow for Boston, and while they should still be one of the better teams in the Eastern Conference, the Pistons’ youthful roster should propel them to another successful season, starting with this game. For that reason, our Detroit Pistons vs. Boston Celtics prediction is: Detroit Pistons ML.
