The Pistons are coming into this game with a 23-58 record overall and they are 10-30 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They are coming into this game on a 2 game losing streak. Their last win was against the Indiana Pacers while their 2 losses since then have come against the Dallas Mavericks and the Milwaukee Bucks in their last game. Rodney McGruder off the bench led the team in points in that game with 26 while Saddiq Bey was next on the team with 20 points. Cade Cunningham led the team in assists in that game with 7 while Isaiah Stewart led the team in rebounds with 12. They were 38.9% from the field, 20.8% from 3-point range, and 91.3% from the free throw line with their shooting in that game. Their offense is averaging 104.8 PPG and their defense is averaging their opponents to average 112.5 PPG against them. The Pistons have an ATS record of 44-35-2 this season and their O/U record is 40-39-2.

 

 

The 76ers are coming into this game with a 49-31 record overall and they are 22-17 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have won 3 of their last 4 games but are coming into this one off of a loss in their last game which snapped a 3 game winning streak that they were on. Their 3 wins in that span were against the Charlotte Hornets, the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Indiana Pacers while their loss came against the Toronto Raptors in their last game. They still have a game against the Pacers on Saturday night that needs to be played first so this will be the 2nd leg of a back-to-back for them on Sunday night. In their first game of this back-to-back against the Pacers, Joel Embiid led the team in points in that game with 30 while Tyrese Maxey was next on the team with 22 points. James Harden led the team in assists in that game with 15 while Joel Embiid led the team in rebounds with 10. They were 49.3% from the field, 52.8% from 3-point range, and 84% from the free throw line with their shots in that game. Their offense is averaging 109.6 PPG and their defense is averaging their opponents to average 107.2 PPG against them. The 76ers have an ATS record of 37-42-1 this season and their O/U record is 37-41-2.

 

 

The Pistons were playing very well over the last few weeks of their season but their good fortune has been fading away recently as they are coming into this game off of 2 straight losses by close to 20 points or more. Both of those losses were at home as well and they are going on the road here against a 76ers team that has been playing well and is looking to stay in playoff form going into the postseason. The 76ers had won 3 straight games but are coming off of a loss on the road to the Raptors and they will want to get that game back at home here with it being the final game of their season. They can still move up to 3rd place and they have no one listed on their injury report either so they will likely keep their starters for this game to stay hot for the playoffs. The Pistons are starting to sit out some of their starters though and they have already been bad enough this season with their starters playing. They will likely end their season off with a blow out loss here in Philly as the 76ers take this game by double digits close to 20 points.
