Prediction
76ers 122, Pistons 108
Moneyline
You can PASS on the moneyline in this game with the 76ers being heavily favored at home. Betting on Philadelphia to win straight up isn’t worth doing due to the minimal return you’ll receive if the 76ers do secure the win.
Against the spread
76ERS -11.5 (-110) is an enticing wager in this game with how well Philadelphia has played since G James Harden returned to the lineup. Meanwhile, the Pistons are on the 2nd leg of a back-to-back and were just beaten by 15 points by the Jazz on Tuesday.
The 76ers are 11-1 ATS in their last 12 home games and 6-1 ATS in their last 7 home games against a team with a losing road record. The Pistons are 1-7 ATS in the last 8 road meetings against the 76ers and 5-13 ATS in the last 18 meetings overall.
Over/Under
Even though the Pistons are shorthanded OVER 224.5 (-110) seems like the ideal way to wager on the total. Detroit doesn’t have anyone that can slow down C Joel Embiid, who is averaging 34.1 points, 9.7 rebounds, and 4.7 assists on 54 percent shooting from the floor in his last 9 games.
