Jaylen Brown on the Celtics 0-3 start: " It's early in the season we're still figuring out a lot of stuff. Obviously it's what people don't want to hear, especially in Boston it's not an excuse. But it takes time." - @CLNSMedia pic.twitter.com/PxgncncR55

BOTTOM LINE: Detroit hosts Boston in a matchup of Eastern Conference teams. Detroit finished 44-38 overall, 29-23 in Eastern Conference games and 22-19 at home during the 2024-25 season. The Pistons averaged 19.0 points off of turnovers, 14.9 second-chance points and 40.2 bench points last season.

Detroit Pistons coach J.B. Bickerstaff said NBA players and coaches have to be mindful of conversations they have with people outside their organizations that may have gambling implications.

The Celtics were up by as many as 17 points, but it wasn't enough to hold off the Pistons on Sunday as Boston dropped to 0-3 on the season.
