Boston

The Celtics faced Miami at TD Garden in the last game after a disappointing trip to Cleveland. Joe Mazzulla's team came out on top, but the final score was 111-115. This was Boston's fourth defeat of the season and the fifth time they've been beaten by Miami – 108-89. The Celtics played this game without several key players, including Al Horford, Kristaps Porzingis, and Jrue Holiday.

Boston's 17-4 record puts them second in the Eastern Conference behind Cleveland. The Celtics will undoubtedly make the playoffs and probably get a high seed.

Detroit

The Pistons are also in playoff contention for the first time in a long time, although J.B. Bickerstaff's team fell out of the Eastern Conference top 10 ahead of their trip to TD Garden. Detroit hosted the Milwaukee Bucks and couldn't offer them much resistance, failing 107-128. The Pistons won the rebound battle (41-38) but had a low assist rate (22) and lost the game.

Detroit is now in 11th place in the Eastern Conference. Its overall win-loss record is 9-14. The Pistons are currently 0.5 wins behind Indiana, Chicago, and Brooklyn, which share the tenth line.

Expert Betting Tips

It's fair to say that Detroit is not as bad as they were last season. However, there is still a way to go to match up with the contenders. In the previous game, the Pistons lost to Milwaukee, and it looks like they'll lose again on the road against the reigning NBA champion. We're backing the Celtics to win their 11th consecutive game and assuming it'll be a high-scoring one. The Pistons have a solid defense, but they're playing in a back-to-back format, which might prevent them from showcasing their full potential. From small markets, we're seeing Detroit make a lot of fouls.
