BETTING TRENDS
Boston are 11-4 SU in their last 15 games.
Boston are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games against Detroit.
Boston are 5-1 SU in their last 6 games against Detroit.
The total has gone UNDER in 5 of Boston's last 6 games on the road.
Detroit are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games.
The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Detroit's last 5 games.
Detroit are 2-7 SU in their last 9 games.
The total has gone OVER in 4 of Detroit's last 5 games against Boston.
Prediction
The Pistons continue to lose games and are ranking last in defense in the league allowing 120 points per game and they have won less games at home than on the road. The Celtics are one of the best teams in the league and are 17-9 on the road but they have failed to cover the spread in 7 of their last 8 games and are still missing Marcus Smart. The Pistons have covered the spread in 8 of the last 10 head to head games vs Boston so I think they can keep this game close enough to cover the spread.
PICK: Pistons +11 (-110)
