Prediction
76ers 122, Pistons 112
Money line
PASS.
The 76ers (-750) are a much better team on paper and should crush the Pistons (+500).
However, the same was true when Detroit beat Philly outright as 10-point home underdogs at the end of March. Ultimately, no team in the NBA is a big enough lock to lay -750 on the ML.
