This line to me indicates that the Philadelphia 76ers are expected to be healthy heading into this contest. If that’s the case, it’s hard not to predict a blowout from the home team. The Detroit Pistons have shown us nothing through three games, especially on the offensive side, where they’ve gotten little consistent play from anybody. If the 76ers are near full strength, they should roll here.
