Detroit replaced its general manager and head coach after its disastrous 16-66 season in 2023-24 and the Pistons have made a remarkable turnaround. They are almost certainly headed to the playoffs and currently are on a seven-game win streak. The Pistons are winning in different ways as they outscored Atlanta 148-143 on Sunday and then beat the Clippers in a defensive battle 106-97 the following night. Detroit is 5-0 ATS its past five games and Boston is just 25-32-1 ATS this season. The Celtics have gone UNDER four of their past five games and Detroit has stayed UNDER four of six, including by 17.5 points against the Clippers. The Celtics did not cover while defeating Toronto last night and it went UNDER by 14.5 points. Boston now has to play a back-to-back on the road against one of the hottest teams in the league. Take the Pistons and the UNDER.

Detroit has improved this season, but the Pistons still are far away from the elite teams in the NBA and they have to go on the road to face one of them tonight. Boston has won the past 10 meetings, covering six of them, and the Celtics will be focused after losing a rare home game to Memphis 127-121 on Saturday. The Celtics played one of their worst games of the season and still kept it close shooting just 40 percent overall, and 30 percent from 3-point range. Detroit is 3-7 ATS its past 10 games and it has lost 14 of its past 16 December games. Boston is 8-1 ATS following a loss and the Pistons are 0-4 ATS playing with at least three days rest. Take the Celtics.

Detroit is a huge underdog but is only getting outscored by -2.7 points per game. They won their last road game as a dog in Indiana, 130-106, and are 22-17 ATS as a double-digit dog the past two years. Boston is in a sandwich spot, off a win over rival Miami with a game on deck against No. 5 seed Milwaukee. The Celtics have been shorthanded with Jrue Holiday, Al Horford, and Kristaps Porzingis missing the last game. Boston is on a 5-10 spread run and is 0-4 ATS this season as chalk of -13 or higher. Play Detroit.
