At the season’s outset, Boston was expected to struggle due to injuries and offseason losses, yet they currently sit second in the Eastern Conference, 4.5 games behind Detroit. This matchup, the fourth between the teams, is crucial for Boston to narrow the deficit and send a message as they chase the No. 1 seed. Key to their success will be maintaining their recent shooting form and effectively defending against Detroit’s Cade Cunningham, who is having a standout season. Derrick White and rookie Hugo Gonzalez will likely be tasked with containing Cunningham, who is averaging nearly 26 points per game.
