Expert picks & predictions for Wednesday’s Celtics vs. Pistons game

NBC Sports Bet Best Bet

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) leans toward the Celtics -4 in Detroit:

"Boston's taken all three meetings versus Detroit this year by 6, 10, and 24 points. While Detroit is playing some of its hottest ball right now, so is Boston. This is a class-up in competition for the Pistons compared to the 76ers, Hornets, Bulls, Spurs, Hawks, and Clippers — all of the teams they've beaten on this seven-game winning streak. I could only look toward the Celtics here."
