Don’t look back. Even if I lose I am getting the superior team who was a -800+ pre game favourite at +270 odds. Too much time for the #Celtics not to respond. #GamblersDream #SportsBettingPicks #Tailing

He is on absolute fire. 30 at half is what we need minimum.

Under 226-110

Read full writeup on X: https://x.com/PicksOffice Boston’s strong defense and Detroit’s scoring inconsistencies point to a low-scoring game. The Celtics control game pace and limit opponents' efficiency, while Detroit struggles on offense, especially on back-to-backs.

So far in three games a trend i’m noticing is opposing ball handlers vs. the Celtics are more welcomed to be a scorer than a facilitator by scheme and pull-up shooting available. The Celtics defenders are confident enough to play single and switch coverage, to avoid doubling and instead sticking to the opposing shooters. Both Al Horford and Luke Korner play drop coverage as a result in taking away the Duren lob passes as well. Tonight the Pistons will also be on a B2B with 0 rest coming from a high intensity match vs. the Cavs and with a double digit spread as underdogs, it could get ugly and limit upside. Brunson had a 7.5 assist line and finished with 2 actual and 14 FGA in 24 MIN and Poole had a 6.5 assists line and finished with 4 actual and 17 FGA in 33 MIN. #PlayerProps

20 and 16 PRA in two games, despite 35-36 mins in each. Now it’s a B2B (with travel) against the Celtics. 16% usage rate, and likely has to guard Tatum. Not much upside today.
