Tonight, the top two teams in the Eastern Conference are slated to do battle when the Boston Celtics arrive in Detroit for an 8 pm tip-off tonight against the Pistons. Jaylen Brown is coming off a 40-point performance his last time out so the Celtics are experiencing a good moment, but the Pistons have a lot to celebrate as well.

Fresh off their biggest victory of the season, a 43-point drubbing of the Indiana Pacers, the Pistons are looking to put together a three-game winning streak if tonight's game unfolds in their favor. Additionally, Cade Cunningham was named as a starter for the All-Star Game earlier today, so the Pistons have full sails entering tonight's matchup.

The Pistons had good fortune the last time they took on the No. 2 team in the Eastern Conference. Last time, the New York Knicks held that label, and the Pistons ran them out of the barn with a 30-point victory. 

Let's see if the Pistons fare similarly tonight. How do you think the game is going to shake out?
