Pistons vs. Celtics: How to watch, TV channel, start time (01/01)

The Boston Celtics play the Detroit Pistons on  New Year’s day, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.

The Celtics are coming off of a 126 – 107 blowout of the Memphis Grizzlies and their second win in a row, while the lowly Pistons own the league’s second-worst record with no wins and four losses, the Washington Wizards the sole team in the NBA with a worse record in the still-young 2020-21 season. With that in mind, it’s likely to be a pretty uneven contest, but such games can still possess upset potential.

Here’s when you should tune in to see the game to see if that’s the case:

  • Date: 01/01/2021
  • Time: 7 p.m. ET
  • TV Channel: NBC Sports Boston
