The Detroit Pistons and the Boston Celtics will both be gunning for a victory on Monday when they meet at TD Garden.
Oddsmakers currently have the Celtics listed as 9-point favorites versus the Pistons, while the game's total is sitting at 195.
The Pistons were defeated 112-99 by the Hawks last time out, as 12-point underdogs. That game's 211 points sailed OVER the posted total of 197.5.
Jason Maxiell collected 19 points and 12 rebounds for a double-double in the loss.
The Celtics lost to Cleveland 104-93 as a 7-point underdog on Sunday. The combined score went OVER the posted over/under total (193).
Ray Allen led Boston with 20 points and Kevin Garnett delivered 18 points.

Overall this is a hard game to pick. Boston is playing for their second game in a row and with their age who knows if they will be tired. Detroit is a poor team with injure problems. Rodney Stucky is still out so my overall thinking is Boston should be able to battle down low collecting second chance rebounds and points covering the 8 point spread.
