Monday promises to be a captivating NBA matchup when the Pistons, with 20 wins and first place in the Eastern Conference, face the Celtics, currently in third. The Pistons won their first meeting in Detroit on October 24, 119-113; the Celtics later won the rematch 117-114 on November 26 at TD Garden. On Monday, they will play again in Boston, with the odds even before the game.

The Pistons are coming off another dominant victory at Little Caesars Arena, defeating the Hawks 142-115. Seven Pistons players scored in double figures, and Jalen Johnson recorded his third consecutive triple-double. Johnson also became the fifth player in NBA history to record at least 7 points, 7 assists, and 7 rebounds in 15 straight games. Of course, Detroit's confidence is growing, with Jaylen Duren saying he believes his team is the best in the entire NBA.

Meanwhile, the Celtics saw their five-game winning streak snapped, losing 101-116 at Fiserv Forum against the Bucks. In the loss, Jaylen Brown scored 30 points, but coach Joe Mazzulla admitted his team was far from its best.
