Boston Celtics vs Detroit Pistons Player Prop Picks 2/26/25 NBA Picks

The Boston Celtics are set to face the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday, February 26, 2025, at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit. The Celtics, boasting a 41-16 record, have been dominant recently, securing five consecutive victories. Their star duo, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, continue to lead the team with impressive performances. 

The Pistons, with a 32-26 record, have also been on a strong run, winning seven straight games. Cade Cunningham has been instrumental in their success, and Malik Beasley has stepped up in the absence of Jaden Ivey, who is sidelined due to injury. This matchup features two of the NBA’s top scorers: Jayson Tatum (seventh, 26.8 points per game) and Cade Cunningham (tenth, 25.8 points per game). 

Cade Cunningham Over 26.5 Points

Cade Cunningham has been a standout player for the Detroit Pistons during the 2024-25 NBA season. In 53 games, he has averaged 25.8 points per game, 6.3 rebounds, and 9.5 assists, showcasing his all-around game. Cunningham’s scoring efficiency is impressive, with a field goal percentage of 46.0% and a three-point shooting percentage of 36.5%. His exceptional performance has been instrumental in the Pistons’ remarkable turnaround this season. After a challenging previous year, Detroit has achieved a 32-26 record, positioning them in playoff contention.

Cunningham has scored 26 or more points in 3 of his last 4 games and it was highlighted by a 38-point game against the Hawks. He has a tough matchup going against this Celtics team but if the Pistons want any chance in this game Cunningham will need to be aggressive on the offensive side of the ball. Cunningham has been granted the keys to Detroit and is becoming a star right in front of our eyes. 

Derrick White Over 14.5 Points

Derrick White has been a key contributor to the Boston Celtics’ offense during the 2024-25 NBA season. In 54 games, he has averaged 16.2 points per game, 4.4 rebounds, and 4.3 assists. White’s scoring efficiency is notable, with a field goal percentage of 44.5%. 

I’ve been cashing in on Derrick White Props as of late. He’s gotten over this number in 9 of his last 11 games. He’s coming off a game where he scored 22 points against the Toronto Raptors. With how much attention Tatum, Brown, and Porzingis garner from defenses it gives White plenty of chances to get good looks.

Jalen Duren Over 10.5 Rebounds

Jalen Duren has been a surprising performer for the Detroit Pistons during the 2024-25 NBA season. In 54 games, he has averaged 11.0 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 2.6 assists per game. Duren’s rebounding prowess is evident, with an average of 10.2 rebounds per game, ranking him among the top rebounders in the league. 

Duren is coming off a game where he secured 18 rebounds against the Los Angeles Clippers. The Clippers are one of the best rebounding teams in the league and he was matched up with Zubac all night. The Celtics do almost everything at a high level but they haven’t been the best rebounding team this season. Boston is giving up 52.7 rebounds per game to opposing teams which is well above the league average.
