Celtics vs Pistons prediction
The Pistons are a lot more competitive than their record suggests, and they’ve actually covered 35 games this season. However, the Celtics are flexing their muscle more times than not, and they’ve covered 7 of their last 10 games. The Celtics also smashed the Pistons by 25 points four days ago. The Celtics have won 8 straight games against the Pistons, and they’ve covered 5 of those games. The Celtics do have the Bulls tomorrow, so this could be a win and get out situation. However, another Celtics 20 point win wouldn’t be surprising either. It’s Celtics or pass for me.
