Philadelphia has won and covered the last four meetings. The 76ers are on a two-game winning streak after beating Orlando 116-115 on Saturday when JJ Redick hit a three-pointer with 17 seconds left. Joel Embiid scored 32 points for the Sixers, and Reddick added 31 points in the winning effort. Detroit is off to a 2-0 start with wins over Brooklyn and Chicago, but the Pistons didn't cover the spread in either of them. Blake Griffin had 33 points and 12 rebounds and Ish Smith scored all of his 15 points in the second half, including the game-winning basket against the Bulls. Detroit center Andre Drummond is questionable with an illness. The Pistons are 7-17 ATS their last 24 games against Atlantic Division teams dating to last season and 1-6 ATS with two days rest. As usual, Detroit is having trouble on the shooting end, making just 41.5 percent its first two games while allowing 47.7 percent. Back the 76ers.
