76ers vs Pistons Prediction

The Pistons have ruled out Jalen Duren again, and they are keeping an eye on Ausar Thompson, who is listed as questionable with an ankle sprain, while the 76ers have ruled out Tacko Fall and Jabari Walker, with Joel Embiid being rested, but they do expect to have LeBron James back in action. Both teams will be missing a key player, which evens things out a bit, but the 76ers are deserved favorites at home. We should be in for a close contest here, but it’s hard to go past the 76ers to get the job done behind big games from James and Brown.
