After an NFL weekend, attention almost always turns to the NBA to tip off a new week. Not only is that the case today, but it’s a special one on top of that, as we’ve got a massive MLK Day slate! The holiday includes a Peacock tripleheader that wraps up in the Motor City, hence why we’re here with our best Celtics vs. Pistons predictions for tonight.

To make more than just Celtics vs. Pistons picks even sweeter, we’ve also hooked you up with a guaranteed Novig Sportsbook promo code bonus!

Celtics vs. Pistons Predictions for NBA on Peacock, 1/19

For the past few seasons, the Boston Celtics have been the class of the Eastern Conference. Well, now it’s actually the Detroit Pistons at the top of the standings! That said, there are still sure to be Celtics vs. Pistons predictions backing Boston, as they’re not far behind Detroit in that respect.

That’s even after most expected them to be further back, given the lack of Jayson Tatum. Regardless, it sets us up for what could, surprisingly enough, be an Eastern Conference Finals preview! Both teams will certainly be coming in with momentum, as Boston had a 26-point win on Saturday, while Detroit won by 43 that same night!

As for Celtics vs. Pistons predictions specifically, it’s already the fourth time that we’ll be making them this season. Detroit won two of the first three meetings, covering the spread in both of them. In terms of the over/under trend, that also had a 2-1 record, which was in favor of the under.

Of course, those standard markets are just a small fraction of the ones available to us. So, after checking them all out, we’ve got a best bet from our Celtics vs. Pistons predictions to add to our NBA expert picks! 
 

 

 

Celtics vs. Pistons Best Bet: Cade Cunningham Over 25.5 Points (-129 at Novig)

Rather than focusing on those standard markets in a game that we feel like could go either way, we’re going to focus on the player prop markets. Before we fully dive in, if you’d like to focus your Celtics vs. Pistons picks on the Boston side of the game, we wouldn’t fault anyone for taking Jaylen Brown going over his points total as well.

He’s coming off a 41-point performance, has averaged 36 points per game in three meetings with Detroit this season, and if Peyton Pritchard misses another game, he’ll have even more responsibility to light up the scoreboard. However, we’re going to target the Pistons’ primary point scorer.

Cade Cunningham is also their primary factor in becoming a top threat in the Eastern Conference, so it’s not as if our Celtics vs. Pistons predictions are exactly “outside the box.” Even still, we expect him to continue ballin’ against Boston. In his three games against the Celtics this season, Cunningham has averaged 33 points per game.

We do need him to step up from his last two performances, but prior to those, he hit over this prop in six straight outings. Now, in a game that he knows is a high-profile one on a holiday, we’ve got Cade Cunningham over 25.5 points (-129 at Novig) as the best bet from our Celtics vs. Pistons predictions.
