Predictions, Odds, and Betting Preview for the Boston Celtics vs Detroit Pistons NBA Regular Season Game on February 6, 2023
- Where: Little Caesars Arena, Detroit, Michigan.
- When: Monday, February 6, 2023, 7:00 PM E.T.
Betting on the Boston Celtics
- Season record: 37-16
The Boston Celtics currently share the NBA’s best record with the Denver Nuggets, and have been at the top of the league for most of the season. The team is desperate to keep it that way as they are feeling the pressure from their chasers in the Eastern Conference, with the Bucks and 76ers being 1.0 and 2.0 games behind, respectively.
This pressure is due to the fact that the team has lost four of its last seven games, which has reduced its lead. This bad stretch of the campaign is due in large part to the absence due to injury of an important man like Marcus Smart, who averages 11.1 points, 3.4 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game.
Their offense looked atypically poor in their last match against the Phoenix Suns, losing 106-94, which is odd for a team averaging 117.7 points per game this season. If they continue to do so, they will have to start relying more on their defense, which ranks fifth in the league in defensive rating (112.4).
Betting on the Detroit Pistons
- Season record: 14-40
The Pistons have no pressure unlike the Celtics as they could not go any lower, currently occupying the last place in the Eastern Conference and do not have the worst record in the league only because the Houston Rockets are playing in the NBA.
The team has lost three of its last ten games, with the last of those also being a 116-100 loss to the Phoenix Suns, which was the 14th consecutive game in which Detroit has allowed at least 110 points.
In fact, only one team has a worse defensive rating than the Pistons this campaign (119.7), and when you couple that with an offense that scores an average of just 112.5 points per game, it’s no surprise that Detroit ranks where it currently does.
JefeBet Prediction
The Celtics may have looked terrible in their last game against the Suns, but here they will have a chance to bounce back against the bottom of their conference.
It is worth mentioning that Boston’s defense has been really solid in their last few away games, allowing an average of 105 points per game in their last three away games.
Considering that Detroit’s offense is really poor, and their defense is very permissive, surely the predictions will come true, and we will see Boston win comfortably to keep the distance with their chasers.
