Pistons vs 76ers Prediction

The current betting odds have the 76ers listed as a 10 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The 76ers have one of the better records in the East right now and they have been a great home team all season with a 16-6 record there. They also just played the Pistons on the road in their last game and beat them by double digits, now coming back home for this game. The Pistons have been having a terrible season with one of the worst records in the NBA and they have been just as bad in road games with a 6-18 record on the road. The Pistons are a very young team while the 76ers are a title contender and they will be looking to get on another run here after beating the Pistons on the road the other night. They will have no trouble repeating their performance against them here at home and this will end up being another big win for the 76ers. The best way to place a bet here is on the 76ers to cover the spread in this game.
