Boston Celtics vs Detroit Pistons Prediction

The Celtics have simply been resplendent this season and although Detroit sit just behind them in the conference standings, the reality is that there are six wins between them with Boston boasting 18 and the Pistons 12. Boston’s whopping winning streak may have been ended by Miami Heat, but they are starting again with two wins in their last two. The Pistons have hit a patch of inconsistent form after only two wins in their last five, somewhat hampering their NBA odds as a charging Cleveland begin to catch them up. On home soil, Boston are too strong, especially with the likes of Kyrie Irving who has been averaging 23 points per game, making the Celtics comfortably one of our best NBA betting tips to win.

Boston Celtics vs Detroit Pistons Betting Tips

You would normally expect a side sitting second in the table to reduce the gap in the betting market somewhat, but Boston’s dominance this season highlights the confidence and quality and ease with which the bookmaker believes the Celtics will win over the Pistons. Despite this, EnergyBet’s outright price for the win is still one of the best you can get and as much as we would like to offer value for Detroit, no scenario other than a Celtics victory is on the cards in this one. This season alone, the Celtics have lost only three times in twenty-one matches and have beaten Detroit in their last two meetings. In our best NBA betting previews, we have highlighted numerous Celtics’ games where they have gone on to dominate when it looked like there was a chance for the opposition. That killer instinct makes the Celtics the pick of the bunch to make it three from three over their closest rivals.

We have already established that the Celtics will win this game but now the question turns to by how many? When the Celtics win, it is usually by a comfortable margin. For example, last time out against Indiana, a 10-point win was the margin. The time before that, 15 points was the victory gap against Orlando Magic. In fact, in their last four wins, the eight-point victory over the Mavericks was the smallest margin and although the Pistons should pose a tougher challenge, the Celtics were away from home on the lengthy trip down to Texas. Coupled with Detroit’s recent 28 points defeat to the Cavaliers and seven-point loss to the Pacers, it makes SunBet’s handicap markets one of the best ways to get value from this game with a rampant Celtics set to blow the Pistons out of the water once more with a raucous crowd cheering them on.
