The Philadelphia 76ers are starting to get healthier, and they are lucky that their 20-30 overall record has them just one game out of the play-in round. Detroit is no longer sneaking up on anyone. The Pistons won just 14 games last year and enter this game at 25-26 and sit in 7th place in the East. Detroit is hitting the wall, just 4-7 in their last 11 games, and is riding a 2-game losing streak. The Sixers are a different team with Joel Embiid on the floor, and he is expected to play tonight. The Pistons are suddenly the injured team, as four double-digit scorers are listed as either being questionable or out, and this roster isn't deep enough to absorb that. I like Philadelphia in this one.

Philadelphia at Detroit
The Philadelphia 76ers are an ugly 3-14 to start the season and have had bad luck with injuries. Joel Embiid will miss his 4th straight game, but there is a better than 50% chance that Paul George will return tonight. Detroit's success relies heavily on Cade Cunningham, and his status is doubtful. The Sixers are catching Detroit in a good spot as the Pistons played last night, while the Sixers have been idle since Wednesday and have had a chance to button some things up. A bad team (less than .400) on 2 days' rest, taking on a home favorite on no rest, covers close to 55% of all games. I like Philadelphia in this one.

Premium Picks
Detroit at Philadelphia
The Detroit Pistons are a total mess. The Pistons lost here last night to Philadelphia by 17 points, and it marked their 21st straight loss. I would expect Philadelphia to let up tonight, and expand the rotation and get some rest for players grinding it out every night. The Pistons have a long history of playing lower scoring games than expected when facing a team that averages three or more rebounds per game than their opponent. They have played to a 117-79 record to the UNDER in these games. Make the play UNDER the total.
