Boston at Detroit

Boston's usually strong defense has been up and down, but Kevin Garnett and company catch a break here against a Detroit Pistons’ offense that is No. 24 in points per game, and No. 28 in rebounds. The UNDER is 6-1 in the Celtics last seven road games vs. a team with a losing home record. They are also 8-2 to the UNDER in their last 10 road games vs. a team with a home winning percentage of less than .400. Boston has a winning road record and there's no need for the aging Celtics to run and gun with a game against the San Antonio Spurs on deck. Detroit is on a 3-1 run UNDER the total, and when these teams meet the UNDER is 8-3 in the last 11 meetings in Detroit. The value in this game is a slow paced first half. Play the first half UNDER.
