Celtics vs Pistons Prediction

The Pistons are much more competitive than their record suggests, and they have actually covered 35 games this season. However, the Celtics show strength more often than not and they have covered in 7 of their last 10 games. The Celtics also crushed the Pistons by 25 points four days ago. The Celtics have won 8 straight games against the Pistons, and they have covered in 5 of those games. The Celtics have the Bulls tomorrow, so this could be a win-and-go situation. However, another Celtics win by 20 points wouldn’t be surprising either. It’s Celtics or pass for me.
