Game Preview
The Celtics’ 9-1 record in the last 10 games tells us a lot about their power and form. Right now, they are safe in second place in the Eastern NBA standings, keeping their form before the playoffs. Their defense is the third-best in the NBA allowing only 108 points per game.
We really need to mention Payton Pritchard who’s been Joe Mazzulla’s x-factor, coming off the bench in all 56 games this year. He scores 13.9 points, with 41.2% for three and 46.8 FG overall.
Now, the Pistons have one of the most talented players the league has seen in the last decade. Cade Cunningham isn’t loved by the media as some other youngsters, but his stats and performances are unreal – 25.8 points per game (10th in the NBA), 9.5 assists (3rd best), and 6.3 boards, all this while shooting 46% FG.
Detroit is 8-2 in the past 10 events and has a 32-26 record, which puts them in the No.6 in the East. For the moment, the boys from Motor City are 3.5 games ahead of the Magic.
Celtics vs. Pistons Head to Head
The Celtics lead 3-0 this season against the Pistons. Game 1 was in Detroit, 124-118, and the next two in Boston, 130-120 and 123-99, all for the Cs.

Celtics vs. Pistons Predictions
Now given the fact that the Pistons are in great shape, and that the Cs have to play their second game in 24 hours, we will take some risk and bet on Detroit Pistons to win. After all they lost all three this year, it’s time to snap that cold streak.
