Playing well against the numbers in recent weeks, back the Boston Celtics as big road dogs tonight in Detroit against the Pistons.

Our NBA selection tonight is on the Boston Celtics, as underdogs of more than 10 points are 130-80 against the spread if they have at least two days of rest and are off 3+ losses.

Boston (12-34) has been terrible lately regardless if they were home or away as they have not won in over a month (Jan 5 at Memphis). But they are 6-3-1 against the spread in their last 10 lined games dating back to their last trip into Motown on Jan 13.

With the Celts off 14 straight defeats, and rested since playing last Friday, we'll grab the points with the men in green.

Play: Celtics +11½

I'm not too fond of the side in this game. However, I really do like the over 185.5

I am with dan here, passing on the side with a lean toward the over.

I like the points here, and will be on the Celtics as well. I might even put a little on that juicy money line.
