Pistons vs. Celtics Preview: Cunningham is at home, the Pistons strive for two consecutive wins in the new season
6686 Sports, October 26th The NBA regular season will continue tomorrow, and the Celtics will face the Pistons in the visiting team.
In the first two games of the new season, the Celtics ended in defeat. In the first game, the team followed the 76ers in terms of total points and total assists. The Celtics' top scorers were Brown and White, both of whom scored 25 points. No player scored 30+, while Maxey of the 76ers scored 40 points. Even Edgcomb, the No. 3 pick this year, also scored 34 points. Two of the team scored 30+, and five players scored in double figures. In the second game, except for the stalemate between the two teams in the first quarter, the Knicks led the game in points and the Celtics ended up losing by 10 points. After missing the absolute core player of Tatum and the departure of Porzingis, Holiday and Horford during the offseason, perhaps the Celtics' goal this season is to fight for a play-off spot.
On the other hand, the Pistons lost to the Bulls by 4 points in the first game of the new season, but they gave the Rockets a head start in the second game at the home team, and finally won the away game with a score of 115-111. In this game, the Pistons team generally did not score high. Although there were five players who scored in double figures, the highest was only Cunningham's 21 points. It can be said that in this game, the Pistons defeated the Rockets with defense. Last season, the Pistons achieved a record of 44 wins and 38 losses, ranking sixth in the Eastern Conference, and successfully entered the playoffs. Under the leadership of No. 1 pick Cunningham, this team gave the outside world a brand new look. The new season is bound to make a breakthrough on this basis, and winning against the Rockets also proves that the team can compete with strong teams.
When the two teams meet in this game, Celtic White has a high probability of playing, while Jaylen Brown is listed as doubtful. With Tatum's return date undecided, if another double-star player is also absent, the Celtics' overall strength is bound to decline in a straight line. The Pistons currently have no injury report, and all the core players of the team have been available in the first two games. After just defeating the Rockets, who are favored to win the championship, the Celtics, who have lost two consecutive games and are missing core players, will definitely feel more confident. Let me wait and see whether the Celtics will win their first win of the new season on the road, or whether the Pistons will win two consecutive games at home!
