The end of the Emirates NBA Cup means the back end of Week 9 will be loaded with games.

Detroit Pistons:

The Detroit Pistons have won five of their last six matchups, most recently defeating the Atlanta Hawks 142-115 at home last Friday. It was the team's largest win of the season, and the bench scored a season-high 77 points in the win. 12 players scored at least 7 points, making the Pistons the third team in NBA history to accomplish that feat.

"[Wins like tonight] show the world we’re serious about winning...we’re not here just to win games; we’re here to win championships… I think we’re the best team in the league, and we’re going to continue to show it," said Jalen Duren after the win.

The Pistons, now 20-5, lead the Eastern Conference and have the second-best record in the league behind the Oklahoma City Thunder (24-2). It’s only the third time in franchise history that Detroit has won 20 or more games in the team’s first 25 games of a season.

Boston Celtics:

The Celtics' five-game win streak was snapped last Thursday night, when they fell 116-101 to the Milwaukee Bucks. Jaylen Brown scored a team-high 30 points in the win. He has continued to lead the Celtics while Jayson Tatum recovers from the torn Achilles he suffered last season. Brown is on pace for career highs in points per game (29.1), field-goal attempts (21.4), field goals made (10.7), free-throw attempts (7.2), and assists (4.8).

Boston is currently third in the Eastern Conference.
