The Boston Celtics will be up against the Detroit Pistons in an NBA<\/a> 2025-26 regular-season matchup on December 15. This is the third time they will be up against each other in the ongoing NBA season. In their previous two meetings, both Celtics and the Pistons recorded one victory each, tying 1-1 against each other. In the upcoming game, we can expect the Eastern Conference toppers giving a tough fight to extend dominance over each other. <\/p>

The Celtics, standing third in the conference, will head into Monday’s fixture on the back of a blowout loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. With the defeat, the 18-time champions snapped their five-game winning streak, and dropped their seasonal record to 15-10. On the other hand, the Detroit Pistons, leading the charts with a solid 20-5 record, are coming off three consecutive wins. In their most-recent game, they recorded an easy win over the Atlanta Hawks. <\/p>

Both teams are in great form, and we can expect them to battle it out in a thundering clash on Monday. However, before that, let’s have a look at the injury concerns as well as expected starting lineups for both sides. <\/p>
