Philadelphia 76ers vs Detroit Pistons Prediction
The Philadelphia 76ers are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home and still have the best player on the court. However, I’m not excited to lay chalk with the 76ers with two of their top three players still out. Also, the Pistons may be winless, but they’ve competed this season defensively and have covered their last two games. The Pistons aren’t that far off from getting their first win. I’ll grab the points with the Pistons.
