Detroit @ Boston

Current Records: Detroit 3-8; Boston 7-3

What to Know

The Detroit Pistons have enjoyed the comforts of home their last two games, but now they must head out on the road. They will square off against the Boston Celtics at 7:30 p.m. ET Wednesday at TD Garden. The Pistons are hoping to patch up the holes in a defense that has allowed an average of 117.45 points per contest.

Detroit netted a 112-103 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday. The win came about thanks to a strong surge after the half to overcome a 63-48 deficit. Detroit can attribute much of their success to small forward Saddiq Bey, who had 25 points along with five boards, and shooting guard Jaden Ivey, who dropped a double-double on 15 points and 11 rebounds in addition to six dimes.

Meanwhile, the Memphis Grizzlies typically have all the answers at home, but on Monday Boston proved too difficult a challenge. Boston had just enough and edged out Memphis 109-106. The Celtics’ power forward Jayson Tatum did his thing and had 39 points.

The Pistons are the clear underdogs, so they’re hoping it’s the size of the fight that determines this one. The smart bettors have been the ones to keep their money on Detroit’s opponents whenever they hit the road.

Their wins bumped Detroit to 3-8 and Boston to 7-3. We’ll see which team can carry over their success and which team inevitably falls when Detroit and Boston clash.
