This game has blowout written all over it. The Pistons will definitely be without Christian Wood (knee), while Blake Griffin (knee) and Luke Kennard (knee) are listed as doubtful. The Pistons are already an unsightly 4-8-1 ATS on the road, so this should be an uphill battle. The Celtics beat the Mavericks by six points on the road Wednesday despite the absences of Marcus Smart (eye) and Gordon Hayward (foot). I’ll take them to cover at home Friday, even if both players are out again.

The Celtics avoided a three-game losing streak by beating the Mavericks on Wednesday night. Offense triggered Boston's late surge over Dallas, and that should carry over against Detroit. Grab the Celtics to roll Friday.
