Jaylen Brown steps up and leads charge for Boston Celtics while Payton Pritchard steps up in starting 5

There was perhaps no surprise that the league-leading Boston Celtics (56-14) had an easy win against the Detroit Pistons (12-58), even without Jayson Tatum. Jaylen Brown stepped up and led the team in scoring finishing with 33 points while Payton Pritchard followed through with a near-double-double of 20 points and nine assists.

Kristaps Porzingis was just too much for the Pistons to handle, scoring 19 points while Derrick White had an all-around game with 19 points-11 rebounds and eight assists. Sam Hauser also had a notable night coming off the bench with 14 markers.

On the other hand, James Wiseman had his best game of the season for the Pistons with 24 points and nine rebounds. Cade Cunningham was held to 15 points while Jaden Ivey managed 16.

The Pistons were missing a significant number of pieces in their rotation including Jalen Duren, Isaiah Stewart and Ausar Thompson. Simone Fontecchio was not able to play either as the Celtics capitalized on their undermanned opponents.
