Both teams are off bad offensive performances last night. Now, playing in the second of back-to-back games, there is a fatigue factor. I see that coming on defense with each team working hard to get their offense back in gear.

Boston has scored just 88 and 90 points during its past two games, both at home. Prior to that, the Celtics had scored at least 104 points in seven of their last eight games. They expect to be without Al Horford and Marcus Smart. That hurts them more defensively than offensively especially minus Smart.

Avery Bradley is having a breakthrough season. He and Isaiah Thomas give Boston a strong scoring backcourt.

The Pistons have scored 102 or more points in all but one of their five home games. The over has cashed 12 of the last 16 times the Pistons have played without rest.
