FanDuel. I’m back on Jalen Duren’s points prop, after splitting the last two games. Duren has cleared this line in seven of his last eleven contests, and will face a Celtics front court missing their only decent defender at center in Neemias Queta. While the Celtics rate well on paper against pick and roll men and paint points, it’s partially offset by the fact that they allow the fifth most free throw attempts per game. Duren should feast against the weaker interior defense, and I expect the Pistons to go all out to look to solidify their 14th straight win, which would be a francishe record.

The Pistons have tied a franchise record with 13 straight wins. And I'll talk about this in the newsletter on Wednesday. But, yep, I think they do go down in Boston -- although the beauty of 3.5 is no buzzer-beating loss, so we can still win ATS and lose SU in theory. The C's have the defenders to deal with Cade Cunningham and this just "seems" like the spot the run ends for Detroit, for lack of a better word. Pistons-Celtics was a huge part of my childhood/NBA growing up. Wished Isiah and Bird got in a DeLorean and simply vanished into thin 1955 air.
