Things were looking a bit awkward for Boston early on as they have so much talent and trying to blend in Irving and Heyward to that mix after they both missed so much time a year ago was a challenge. Boston has surprisingly shot the ball poorly this season and chemistry and roles are still being sorted out. The one staple, however, has been the defense. While scoring is way up league-wide in 2018, the Celtics are allowing just over 96 points per game. The Boston offense is coming in at barely over 100 points per night. The Pistons took on Boston at home last night and managed just 89 points after averaging 116. It will be more of the same here, so play on the UNDER.
