  • The 76ers have covered the spread in each of their last eight home games against the Pistons following a win.
  • Each of the 76ers’ last five home games against Central Division opponents have gone UNDER the total points line.

Detroit Pistons Team Facts

  • The Pistons have lost each of their last 28 games against Eastern Conference opponents that held a winning record.

  • Seven of the Pistons’ last nine road games following a road loss have gone UNDER the total points line.

Pistons vs 76ers Prediction

I’m not excited to lay a massive number with the 76ers, who have a questionable Harris due to a knee issue. The 76ers also seem to be careful with Embiid’s minutes, and they’re coming off a double overtime game, so we could see some tired legs. However, the Pistons are racking up the loses, and they could be without Cunningham, Fournier, and Duren. With that said, the 76ers have won 5 straight games, and they need to keep winning to stay out of the play-in tournament. The 76ers have covered 9 of their last 10 games. When the Pistons and 76ers met in December, Philly won by 32 points. Massive number, but I still expect a 76ers blowout victory.
