Detroit Pistons are playing on three days rest as they won the game against Miami 99-98 as +4.5 underdogs. They tend to do that at home recently, as they took out Chicago, Toronto and Atlanta as well. Despite not being part of the playoff race, the Pistons are red hot on their home court.
Boston Celtics need to protect their playoff spot that’s under threat by Miami, Indiana and Charlotte. They had some good games recently, especially on the offensive end as they repeatedly pass the century mark, but they’ll fear for their playoff spot right until the final game of the regular season. Boston won four straight road games: Brooklyn, New York, Charlotte and Toronto.
