The Philadelphia 76ers travel to Little Caesars Arena to battle the Detroit Pistons on Saturday night. Here’s a Philadelphia 76ers vs Detroit Pistons Prediction. This article will include a Philadelphia 76ers vs Detroit Pistons Pick.
Philadelphia 76ersÂ
The Philadelphia 76ers have been in dreadful form as they’ve lost 14 of their first 17 games and they will be hoping to avoid a third straight defeat after falling just short to the Rockets in a 122-115 overtime loss on Wednesday. Tyrese Maxey led the team with 39 points, 10 assists, and five steals, Guerschon Yabusele added 22 points while Jared McCain chipped in with 15 points. As a team, the 76ers shot 44 percent from the field and 12 of 33 from the 3-point line as they showed plenty of fight to claw their way back from an early 13-point deficit, only to come up short in overtime where they scored just seven points. The 76ers will take on the Hornets after this one.
Detroit Pistons
Meanwhile, the Detroit Pistons have been in a rut as they’ve lost four of their last six games overall, but they will be eager to build some momentum after making light work of the Pacers in a 130-106 road win last night. Cade Cunningham led the team with 24 points and 11 assists, Jaden Ivey added 23 points with six assists, Jalen Duren tallied 14 points with 12 rebounds and four blocks while Malik Beasley provided the spark off the bench with 25 points on 10 of 14 shooting. As a team, the Pistons shot 57 percent from the field and 18 of 38 from the 3-point line as they set the tone with 33 points in the first quarter to take the early lead and they just kept their foot on the gas right till the end to finish with a season-high 130 points for the game. The Pistons will play against the Bucks following this game.

- The 76ers have failed to cover the spread in seven of their last eight games as underdogs.

Philadelphia 76ers vs Detroit Pistons Prediction
The 76ers will again be without Joel Embiid and they have Paul George listed as questionable, while the Pistons have ruled out Bobi Klintman once again. The 76ers have easily been the most disappointing team in the league so far this season and their confidence took another hit after falling to the Rockets in overtime on Wednesday. The Pistons are playing their second game of a back-to-back set, but they will be brimming with confidence following last night’s massive win over the Pacers and they are as healthy as they’ve been in a long time with Cunningham back in the lineup. The bookies have this one set as a pick ’em, so I think there is value with the Pistons to take advantage of this ice-cold 76ers squad.
