Boston's defense has been improving with Kevin Garnett rounding into form and they face a Detroit team that can't shoot - the Pistons are ranked No. 27 in shooting (.439%).
The Celtics get Paul Pierce back for this game and he has reportedly looked great in practice. Meanwhile, Detroit's Richard Hamilton (flu) and Jonas Jerebko (left ankle) both sat out Monday's practice and are less than 100 percent.
Boston enters this game coming off an embarrassing home loss to the miserable Nets. Have to back the angry visitors. Play the Celtics.
