Celtics vs. Pistons: Is Thursday's Game a Potential Trap for Boston?
In the latest episode of the Bleav in Celtics podcast, hosts Warren Shaw and Gary Washburn delve into the Boston Celtics' upcoming game with the Detroit Pistons and the challenges that lie ahead. As the Celtics navigate a series of injuries and roster uncertainties, the game against the Pistons presents the opportunity for a trap game.
Gary Washburn kicks off the discussion by shedding light on the Celtics' injury woes, revealing that star players Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum are both questionable for Thursday's game. With these key players' availability hanging in the balance, the Celtics will need to decide on what to do in tonight's game.
The dilemma facing the Celtics boils down to one fundamental question: Should they rest their star duo, Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum, in preparation for the next game against the Raptors? Or, do they opt to field these star players, ensuring that the Pistons don't end their winning streak on the Celtics' home court, avoiding an ignominious headline on SportsCenter?
The Celtics are currently 16.5-point favorites against the Pistons on Thursday night, according to BetOnline.
