They've beaten Utah, Milwaukee, Toronto, Spurs, Orlando in the last 8 games.

Hopefully we're more awake than we were against Boston in the early game.

Away back to back would be a bonus to rest in the 4th.

Looking forward to Mikal Bridges locking in on Cade Cunningham.

This is gonna be a tough game. The Pistons are playing well lately.

Good opportunity to see Hayes, Stewart, Lyles, Diallo and our beloved Josh Jackson.

Their best players are Cunningham and Bey. They are great at the wings if you add Jerami Grant to these two guys. Nice future.

An EU-friendly game time. Hopefully Suns play with energy this time unlike the pre new year celebrations Celtics game.

Booker and Ayton 60pts game again ? Mikal not in a good form at all. Misses open 3 then Cade and Hayes score on him. Expecting much better play from him.

Nice start from Booker when he's in form we're a smooth machine.

Pistons hanging around. I suppose we pick it up in the 3rd, also they will not make shots like this all game (hopefully).
