Randy’s Pick
The Detroit Pistons are falling apart, and they’re a banged up team. The Pistons are going nowhere fast. The Philadelphia 76ers have not only won 6 straight games, but they’re 7-0 ATS on the season. The 76ers have won 7 of the last 8 meetings against the Pistons and have covered 6 of those games as well. Hard to make a case for the Pistons. Give me the 76ers and the chalk.
