An exciting game between Eastern Conference powers is set for Monday in Motown. The teams are a combined 56-25 with Detroit accounting for 30 of those wins. The Celtics are no easy team to beat on the road. They are 14-8 away from home, while 12-7 at TD North Garden. Detroit is 16-4 at home.
That sets this up as a great game, and NBA odds reflect it with Detroit a 3-point pick. Cade Cunningham is flirting with averaging a double-double in points and assists. Jalen Duren is averaging a double-double in points and rebounds. They are prop-friendly.
Jaylen Brown is the man for the Celtics, averaging nearly 30 points per game. The teams are evenly matched as they average within 0.7 of each other on offense and 0.2 on defense. This is a great holiday NBA tussle.
