Boston vs Detroit Prediction: the Pistons Can't Crawl Out of the Misfortune

Prediction for the NBA match between Boston vs Detroit, which will take place on December 29th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Celtics played their last game on Christmas Day against the Los Angeles Lakers. Joe Mazzulla's team once again confirmed their status as perhaps the most formidable, beating LeBron with aplomb. Boston jumped out to an 18-point lead in the first period, but the Celtics had no trouble taking it in the second half, 126-115. Kristaps Porzingis was the best scorer for the Boston team - 28 + 11 rebounds, which once again confirmed the versatility of the Celtics offense. Recall that Boston is confidently leading the Eastern Conference. The balance is 23-6.

A new NBA anti-record for the length of the series of defeats could be expected from several teams at once. San Antonio, for example. However, it would be weird if Gregg Popovich set such a record. Detroit is also a team with a past but has been rebuilding too long for such a long series of failures to cause a surprise. The milestone, the 27th consecutive loss, came in Detroit's home game against Brooklyn. Monty Williams' team played well enough, but in the end, the Nets were a little more accurate - 112-118. Cade Cunningham had a brilliant match with 41 points.

The strongest team in the conference faces the weakest team at home. It seems obvious. From the statistical parameters, let's look at the following. Boston allows an average of 42.9 rebounds per game, Detroit - 43.3. At the same time, the Pistons' individual rebounding total for this game is 40.5. It is likely that the Pistons will reach it.
