Odds and predictions for Detroit Pistons vs Celtics on Wednesday

On By Littum

Tuesday night’s NBA Cup action for the Detroit Pistons offered a young team an opportunity to get close to a playoff-like situation. With the Milwaukee Bucks in town, the Pistons had a chance to advance to the next stage of the tournament, which is something they’ve been heavily focused on since picking up a blowout win over the Indiana Pacers last week.

In the first quarter, the Pistons fought well. They only trailed by five points heading into the second quarter. However, that was when things went downhill for the home team.

The Bucks shot 74 percent from the field and hit 10 of their 13 shots from three and scored over 40 points in the second quarter. There was no shootout as the Pistons scored just over half of Milwaukee’s production.

At that point, it was clear that the game had slipped. The Pistons came up short against the Bucks with a 128-107 loss. Given that the wild card scenario did not play out in their favor, the Pistons ended up being eliminated from the NBA Cup’s knockout round.

On Wednesday, the Pistons are back on the court for a game against the Boston Celtics. The defending NBA champions are coming off a hot streak with eight wins in their last ten games. With a 17-4 record, the Celtics are just 1.5 games back of the Cleveland Cavaliers, who lead the Eastern Conference.

The Pistons face the Celtics on Wednesday night.
