Pistons vs 76ers Prediction
The Pistons should be favored at home as they’re the more trustworthy team, and they’ve won six straight games against the 76ers. However, the value is with Philly and the free bucket. The 76ers simply have more upside and are a team you’re not going to get as an underdog often. It looks like the 76ers are healthy as well, while the Pistons are still without Duran. It hasn’t been perfect for the 76ers, but they’ve won four straight games, and it looks like their defense is rolling out of the gate.
The 76ers have allowed 109 or fewer points in five straight games. I say grab the free points while you still can with the 76ers. Give me the road team on Wednesday night.
