Detroit at Philadelphia

Joel Embiid is off his best game of the season for the 76ers scoring 29 points in 26 minutes to help Philadelphia beat Toronto, 130-120, as 5-point home favorites on Saturday. The bad news for the 76ers is Embiid is doubtful considering it will be the second leg of a back-to-back set. The good news for Philadelphia is the team now has a secret weapon - Trendon Watford. He notched his first career triple-double with 20 points, 17 rebounds and 10 assists against the Raptors. It was Watford's first start as a Sixer. Philadelphia also has Tyrese Maxey, the No. 2 scorer in the NBA, who is averaging 33.2 points per game. So the 76ers are definitely live as home underdogs even if Embiid doesn't play. Philadelphia is 3-1 SU and ATS at home. The Pistons are on a five-game winning streak. That has come against weak competition, though. None of the teams Detroit has beaten during this streak have a winning record. The Pistons also may be without forward Isaiah Stewart, who suffered a sprained ankle in the team's win at the Nets two days ago. Take the 76ers.
