Detroit Pistons vs Boston Celtics Prediction: Will the Celtics beat their humble opponent?

After a painful home loss to Phoenix, Eastern Conference leader Boston will play an away game against Detroit, one of the top outfielders of the season. Will the Celtics beat their humble opponent? Boston has won its last four head-to-head games against Detroit.

The Pistons are coming into the game with Boston as the last team in the Eastern Conference. Many teams have been interested in forward Bojan Bogdanovic since the beginning of the season. Although others, including young players, can't be written off in that sense.

Detroit played their last game at home against Phoenix and, as expected, lost to Chris Paul and company with a score of 100:116. Bogdanovic had 25 points for the Pistons, and Saddiq Bey had 23 points.

The Celtics have lost four of their last six games. Besides losing 94:106 to Phoenix, Boston lost 98:111 to Orlando, 95:98 to Miami, and 117:120 (110:110) in overtime to the New York Knicks, but they beat the Los Angeles Lakers 125:121 (105:105) in overtime and crushed Brooklyn 139:96. Overall, the Celtics' results aren't that important at this point of the season. However, they could lose the top spot in the East to Milwaukee after their game with Detroit.

Boston has often played poorly in recent games, but those were games against strong opponents. The Celtics won their previous two games against the Charlotte Hornets, like Detroit, by a double-digit margin. Perhaps something similar should be expected in the upcoming match. We'll bet on a blowout win for Boston as the Celtic's offense will surely come out on top after their disappointing loss to Phoenix, especially since they'll be playing their second-best defense of the season.
