03/15/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Boston Celtics hope to bounce back from a tough loss in Cleveland on Sunday when they welcome Eastern Conference also-ran Detroit to Beantown.
In a possible playoff preview the C's came up short against the Cavs when LeBron James ended with 30 points, eight rebounds and seven assists to lead Cleveland to a convincing 104-93 victory over Boston at Quicken Loans Arena.
Ray Allen led the Celtics with 20 points, while Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett each netted 18 for the Celtics, who have lost three of four following a four- game winning streak. Rajon Rondo had 16 points, eight boards and six helpers in the setback.
"We couldn't get over the hump," Garnett said. "We fell back, we felt like we were right there, but we couldn't turn that corner."
The Pistons continue to play out the string and are coming off a 112-99 loss to Atlanta in Dixie on Saturday. Joe Johnson finished with 26 points in that one, as the Hawks used an efficient offensive performance to take the win.
Jason Maxiell had 19 points and 12 boards for the Pistons, who are virtually assured of missing the playoffs for the first time since 2000-01. Will Bynum, who had a career-best 20 assists vs. the Wizards last Friday, ended with 16 points and seven assists.
Richard Hamilton scored 18 points, but Detroit had just 12 points in the first quarter and never caught up.
"I think that's what hurt us," Pistons head coach John Kuester said. "I thought we were trying, but we were not taking care of the basketball, and they were making us pay on that in the first half."
Bynum is in the starting lineup for Rodney Stuckey, who missed his fourth straight game after collapsing on the bench during a loss in Cleveland on March 5. Extensive cardiac tests last Wednesday provided some good news for Stuckey, who is averaging a career-best 17.1 points per game. He has been allowed to resume exercising but there is no timetable for his return to the floor.
Meanwhile, rookie forward Jonas Jerebko injured his shoulder against the Hawks and is questionable for tonight's contest.
These team teams have split a pair of meetings in Auburn Hills so far this season.

The 2009 AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds have been released and Denver Broncos' running back Knowshon Moreno has been made the opening favorite.
Moreno was selected in the first round of April's NFL draft and is expected to carry the rushing load for the Broncos this season. And with Jay Cutler now in Chicago, Moreno might be expected to be Denver's entire offense.
Betting Lines from sports betting lines have made Moreno a 5/2 favorite to win this year's Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. Fellow running back Chris “Beanie” Wells (Arizona Cardinals) is right behind Moreno at 7/2, while Donald Brown (Indianapolis Colts) and receiver Michael Crabtree (San Francisco 49ers) are 5/1 to win. Quarterbacks Mark Sanchez (New York Jets) and Matthew Stafford (Detroit Lions) are 7/1 and 8/1, respectively.
A couple of players who present some value are Josh Freeman, Shonn Green and Darrius Heyward-Bey.
Freeman needs to beat out Byron Leftwich to become the starting quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but if he does, he has a lot or raw talent and could use the weapons around him (i.e. Kellen Winslow Jr. and Antonio Bryant) to be very successful in his first season.
Green enters a crowded backfield in New York, but considering both Thomas Jones and Leon Washington are unhappy about their contract situations and might holdout, the former Iowa product could become the Jets' primary back.
Everyone was shocked when Al Davis took Heyward-Bey with the eighth overall pick in April's draft, but the kid has a tremendous amount of talent and if quarterback JaMarcus Russell takes the next step this year, the former Maryland product could blossom. Plus, Heyward-Bey will be looking to prove the people wrong who said Oakland should have taken Michael Crabtree with the No. 8 pick.
And if you're looking for a deep sleeper, check out Pat White at 30/1. He enters the Miami Dolphins vaunted “Wild Cat” offense and could be a big time playmaker.
