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.
