Detroit Pistons vs Boston Celtics prediction

The Boston Celtics are more than capable of blowing the doors off here, but they’re fresh off a big win over the Lakers and have the Raptors on deck tomorrow. Could be a letdown spot and also a win and get out situation with another game less than 24 hours away. The Pistons are hot garbage, but they should be playing hard to snap this ridiculous losing streak, and you don’t see these sorts of numbers often in the NBA. It’s the road dog or pass for me, as I can’t leave this many points on the table regardless of circumstances.
