Boston has a deep, talented team that has been great at home and on the road. The Celtics are outscoring opponents by +6.9 points per game with stellar defense, tops in the NBA in points allowed (97.5 points per game), second in field goal shooting defense and three-point defense. Boston is on a 17-5 spread run on the road, plus 24-9-1 ATS against the Eastern Conference. They are also 27-11-2 ATS away versus a team with a winning home record. Detroit peaked early, but has now lost five in a row with a slumping offense. The Pistons had 15 shots blocked the last game in a home loss to Golden State. The road team has covered five straight when these teams clash and the Celtics are on a 5-1 ATS run in Detroit. Play Boston.
