The Philadelphia 76ers have at least found a reasonable amount of wins since their dreadful start, but let's face it, this is a horrible team with a long way to go. Defense has not been leading the charge as the Sixers have allowed 100 points or more 23 times already this season. These teams combined for 209 points in Detroit in their only meeting this season. Detroit has been playing at a high level over their last 12 games at 10-2 and the biggest change is the offense which has clicked for 105.2 points per game in the run. Both have played offensively vs. losing teams with Philadelphia playing 6-1 to the OVER in their last seven vs. a losing team, and Detroit 5-1 to the OVER in their last six. The last seven meetings have gone similar with six of the seven surpassing the total. Take the OVER in this one.
