- • Boston holds a psychological edge after defeating the Pistons 117-114 at TD Garden in their most recent meeting on November 26.
- • The Pistons hold a significant advantage on the glass, averaging 46.5 rebounds per game compared to Boston's 43.6.
- • Jaylen Brown is in peak form, averaging 29.1 points per game to lead the Celtics' offense.
