Detroit Pistons DFS SPIN
Detroit dropped their 27th straight game on Tuesday night, as they lost to Brookyln 118-112. Cade Cunningham was excellent, scoring 41 points on 15/21 from the floor. The Pistons will look to snap their losing streak on Thursday night.
Boston Celtics DFS SPIN
Boston improved to 23-6 after beating the Los Angeles Lakers on Christmas day 126-115. Kristaps Porzingis recorded a double-double in the victory scoring 28 points and grabbing 11 boards. Jason Tatum (ankle) and Jaylen Brown (back) are both listed as questionable for Thursday’s contest.

Pistons vs. Celtics Prediction:
The Pistons have dropped 27 games in a row, while Boston looks to win their fourth straight on Thursday night.
Take the over, even if Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown don’t play Boston still has the offensive talent to score plenty of points. While Detroit has been a trainwreck this season, offensively they haven’t been bad, especially as of late. The Pistons have scored over 110 points in five straight games. I expect Boston to record over their average of 120 points in this one and if Detroit can somewhat keep up, this game should go over the total.
NBA BETTING PREDICTION: Over 231.5
