I think the Celtics are about to go on a streak and with the health of Mr. Garnett coming on Friday this team should be pumped up to get a win against a beat up Pistons team that they have really just owned.
The Pistons have players that are doubtful in Ben Gordon and Prince and Hamilton is probably coming back from his illness. Even with all that the Celtics are a much better team with or without Garnett in this spot. Celtics are on the road where for some reason they have just played better going 16-5 while the Pistons at home are a .500 team going 10-9. Boston has won by 6.2ppg ont he road while the Pistons have lost by 1.9 ppg at home.
This will be an emotional day for Rasheed Wallace as he returns to play the Pistons. The last match up between these two was a 10 point victory by the Pistons in Boston. This time Boston will take revenge out on the Pistons. Both teams are on 1 day rest while the Celtics are 15-6 straight up the Pistons are 6-10 ATS and are 0-7 in their last 7. Boston is 9-3 ATS in their last 12 road games vs. a team with a winning home record and the Pistons are 20-45 ATS in their last 65 following a straight up loss.
I just think the Pistons are going to be out matched in this game and they play their worst defense or second worst defense on 1 day rest. Now they have these injuries and I don't know who exactly will be in or out of the lineup but you know they won't be 100%
