The Boston Celtics are without Jayson Tatum for the season and have significantly lightened their payroll. Tutum is out, and gone are Tutum, Horford, Porzingis, and Holliday. That is four starters from a year ago, all out or gone. Despite that, the Celtics are 15-10 on the season and have been a surprise. Detroit is 20-5 on the season, and the Pistons have arrived as a team expected to make a deep postseason run. Detroit holds just a +1 scoring margin over the Celtics. I think Boston is the better team at the Garden. Make the play with Boston on the moneyline.
