The Celtics hosted one of the strongest teams in the Western Conference at the moment, the Memphis Grizzlies, and suffered their fifth defeat in the current championship. Joe Mazzulla's team did a great job on offense, but couldn't hold off the opponent's onslaught on their home court - 121:127. It should be noted that Boston played with its strongest lineup. Jayson Tatum stopped one pass away from a triple-double - 17 points, 13 rebounds, 9 assists. Jaylen Brown and Payton Pritchard scored 22 points each, and Jrue Holiday was the most efficient Celts player with 23 points.

Boston still retains second place in the Eastern Conference. The balance of wins is 19-5. Only Cleveland is higher in the table, ahead of the Celtics by 1.5 wins.

The Pistons are currently in the play-in zone of the East - on the ninth line. This is an excellent interim result, considering that the team from Detroit has been the conference underdog for the last few seasons. At the same time, the Pistons have a negative 10-15 win balance at the moment. The same, by the way, and the 11th team in the East right now - Indiana.

Detroit won the previous game. On the road, the team unexpectedly coped with one of the leaders of the season New York Knicks - 120:111. Pistons' leader Cade Cunningham finished the game with a triple-double - 29 points, 10 rebounds, 15 assists. Malik Beasley scored 23 points.

The class of opponents for the upcoming match is not comparable at the moment. Boston is superior to Detroit in all aspects, even despite the obvious progress of the Pistons this season. Here we bet on the victory of the Celtics through the total over points scored. The first two meetings between the teams in the current championship were very effective - 124:118 and 130:120 in favor of Boston.
