Philadelphia 76ers vs Detroit Pistons Prediction

The Philadelphia 76ers look like they'll be healthier than they've been in the past for this game, but I'm still not eager to lay points with them. You're just never sure which 76ers team is going to show up night to night.  The Detroit Pistons have cooled off these last couple of weeks, but they still get after it defensively and have been more consistent than the 76ers on the season. The Pistons also just took the Cavs down to the wire a couple of days ago, which is encouraging despite the loss. The 76ers have some showing and proving to do before I can back them in a favorite role on the road. The Pistons don't go down easily. I'll grab the points with the Pistons at home.
