Pistons vs. Celtics Prediction:
Take the Over. Both of these are going to take and make a lot of three pointers. I know Tatum is out for Boston and he is tough to replace, but they still have plenty of firepower without in terms of scoring points. I think we should see this game into 230’s and are getting a discount with Tatum out tonight.
