The Detroit Pistons (23-58) play the Philadelphia 76ers (50-31) Sunday in their regular-season finales at the Wells Fargo Center with tip-off set for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Pistons vs. 76ers odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

Following a 3-game win streak from March 31 to April 3, the Pistons have been crushed in back-to-back games by the Dallas Mavericks Wednesday (131-113) and the Milwaukee Bucks Friday (131-101).

Philly is 4-1 straight up (SU) in their last 5 games, but just 1-4 against the spread (ATS) with the latest being a 133-120 beatdown of the Indiana Pacers Saturday as 17-point favorites. The Sixers could win the Atlantic Divison with a win Sunday and a Boston Celtics loss in Memphis.

The Sixers are 2-1 SU versus the Pistons this season, but Detroit is 2-1 ATS and won the most recent meeting 102-94 March 31.

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.
