Detroit at Boston

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.
