Celtics vs Pistons Prediction
I guess the Celtics are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home and have enjoyed a strong couple of weeks. The Celtics have covered 8 of their last 10 games. The Pistons have lost 3 of their last 8 games and are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games. I guess? The Pistons have still shown us more overall this season, have proven they can win on the road, and they’re still a profitable 14-11 ATS despite a lot of failed recent covers. The Pistons are also 4-1 SU this season as an underdog, and have outright won 5 of their last 6 games overall as a dog. You don’t get the Pistons as an underdog often. Take advantage while you can. Give me the free bucket.
