Boston Celtics vs. Detroit Pistons: Stream, lineups, injury reports, broadcast (11/26)Story byJustin Quinn, Celtics WireWed, November 26, 2025 at 6:59 PM UTC·2 min read

The Boston Celtics will play host to the red-hot Detroit Pistons at their home arena of TD Garden on Wed. (Nov. 26) night, and they will do so behind the proverbial eight ball when it comes to the health of their frontcourt rotation. With a key big man on the bench for this game, keeping the Celtics in the win column for this contest will prove quite a tall order (pun included).

But if Boston gets hot from beyond the arc or head coach Joe Mazzulla gets creative in a way that works against the much bigger Pistons roster, a win is not out of the question -- if still unlikely.
