Detroit Pistons vs Boston Celtics Prediction
The Detroit Pistons have been competitive despite an 0-2 start, but it’s hard to get behind them in this spot. The Celtics have been ridiculous at both ends of the floor through two games, and they have the rest advantage here with the Pistons playing last night. This just isn’t an ideal schedule spot for the Pistons. I’m not trying to step in front of the Celtics with what they’ve shown out of the gate. Give me the Celtics in another road beat down.
