Betting on the Detroit Pistons
- Season record: 15-43.
On February 12, the Detroit Pistons were once again back to their losing form after being defeated 118-119 by the Toronto Raptors. Despite the loss, the Pistons put up a good fight and managed to take the game to overtime on rival court.
Their poor form is evident in their away record, having lost 22 of 29 games on the road. This is not surprising, given that they rank as the second-worst team in the league in terms of defense, allowing an average of 119.7 points per game.. In fact, they have been defeated in 5 of the 6 most recent engagements away from Little Caesars Arena.
Betting on the Boston Celtics
- Season record: 41-16.
After facing a tough Milwaukee Bucks team the previous night, the Boston Celtics are scheduled to play on back-to-back nights. Despite this challenge, they are the best team in the Eastern Conference and have established themselves as one of the most consistent teams this season.
Their upcoming game will be played at home, where they have won 18 out of 27 matches. In fact, they are currently on a three-game winning streak at TD Garden, having defeated the Memphis Grizzlies in their last game – the second-place team in the Western Conference.
However, there is uncertainty around whether the Celtics’ leading scorer, Jayson Tatum, will be available for the match as he missed the game against the Bucks due to illness.
JefeBet Prediction
Boston is the overwhelming favorite to win this matchup, not only because of the significant lead they currently hold over their adversary in the overall standings, but also because they have triumphed over them in their last five meetings.
However, they have several important injuries, which may affect their performance on Wednesday, especially after a highly demanding game like the one against the Bucks.
Detroit is therefore expected to exhibit the competitive version that drove Toronto to the limit in their most recent match, despite the fact that they will undoubtedly add another loss.
Prediction: Detroit Pistons Spread.
