Detroit welcomes defending champions Boston to Little Caesars Arena on Saturday for this Eastern Conference clash in the NBA. If you’re looking to bet on this match between the Pistons and Celtics, then we’ve got a prediction ready for you!

After managing just 14 wins and finishing with the league’s worst record last season, the Pistons have unsurprisingly gotten off to an 0-2 start in 2024/25. With that being said, it hasn’t all been negative, despite the team having yet to register a win.

They gave the Pacers a good shot in their season opener before a 113-101 defeat to the Cavs last night. Detroit shot the ball well in the game against Cleveland, finishing at over 40% from three-point range with 13 makes on 32 attempts.

Where they faltered was in the turnover department, giving the ball away 22 times.

Boston’s title defense is off to a strong start with two double-digit wins from their first two games. The first was a 21 point victory over rivals New York, followed by a 20 point win over the Wizards on Thursday.

Stars Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown are off to red-hot starts, with averages of 30.5 and 25 points, respectively. Additionally, both players have been shooting the three-ball at over 50%, a big reason as to why Boston currently sits second in scoring.
