Overview

  • The Boston Celtics, with the NBA's best record, host the struggling Detroit Pistons, who are on a 27-game losing streak.
  • The Pistons' losing streak is the longest in a single NBA season and a loss to the Celtics would match the overall record of 28 consecutive losses.
  • Celtics' key players Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, and Oshae Brissett are all questionable for the game due to injuries and illness.
  • The Pistons, despite their losing streak, have shown signs of competitiveness, with Cade Cunningham scoring 41 points in their recent game against the Nets.
  • The Celtics, having won their last three games, are significant favorites but are cautioned against complacency.
