The reigning champion and absolute dominator of the new way of playing in the NBA focused on shooting three-pointers, the Celtics, already dominate the league again in this category, shooting 19 points per game and in an upward trend that will probably not end on Thursday, they will receive the Pistons, being favorites at the betting sites by 12.5.
Celtics have won 8 of their last 10 games but lost the last one against the Grizzlies 121-127 on December 7 at TD Garden, with the Celtics being favorites to beat the Grizzlies by 7.5 points at the betting sites. It was a great night for Morant for the visit, who scored twice as much as the Boston team's leading scorer that day, Tatum, with 17 points. Tatum was one assist away from a triple-double. Tatum also completed 12 dribbles but had a FG% of 286 in 21 attempts.
In a strategy that the Pistons will want to emulate, the Grizzlies scored 64 points in the paint against the Celtics compared to only 40 for the home team.

Our Boston Celtics vs Detroit Pistons Prediction
The 12.5 point handicap the bookies are giving the Celtics over the Pistons seems pretty high. Although the Celtics have won the last 2 games against Detroit the bookies had set a similar spread and the Pistons were able to cover. The Celtics have not been as consistent in covering this season and are not winning by blowouts this season. The good moment of the Pistons and Cunningham in particular after beating the Knicks in New York could push them to contest the game against the Celtics. Our prediction for Pistons vs Celtics is: Pistons +13.5.
Prediction:
Pistons +13.5.
