Philadelphia at Detroit

Premium Pick

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.
