The Detroit Pistons are looking to start their 42-game home schedule with a win, but the Boston Celtics are simply looking for their first win of the season and will be hungry. Being a hungry team is one
thing; being a hungry team that will definitely be without your leader, Jayson Tatum, and potentially also Jaylen Brown, is another thing altogether. The Pistons are still expected to be without Marcus Sasser and Caris LeVert, both listed as questionable, and Jaden Ivey is, of course, still out.
The Pistons are 1-1 on the season. In their loss against the Chicago Bulls, they had just 14 three-point attempts. In their win against the Houston Rockets, they had 16 three-point makes. Regardless of how much this team wants to be defined by its defense, and how much its young players want to run the floor and create pressure on the rim, it doesn’t matter if you can’t space the floor and hit your shots.
