76ers vs Pistons Prediction

The current betting odds have the Pistons listed as a 5.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Pistons have looked great in their games this season with their 10-2 record overall which has them right at the top of the East with one of the best records in the entire NBA. They have looked great on their home court too with their 5-1 home record this season and they are also 1-0 in the NBA Cup group stage. Meanwhile, the 76ers have looked good in their games this season with their 7-4 record overall which has them right near the top of the East with a good start to the season. They have been a good road team so far with their 3-2 road record, but they are 0-1 in the NBA Cup group stage. They are off a win over the Celtics in their last one, but they have been dealing with some injuries lately and that has led to them cooling off a bit from a really hot start. The Pistons are also dealing with some injuries, but they continue to find ways to win games while missing key players. They have a lot more momentum on their side with 8 wins in a row now too and they already have a win over the 76ers this season too. The Pistons are one of the best teams in the East right now and they are going to bring their best effort to stay at the top of this group. The best way to place a bet here is on the Pistons to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes


"We still are going into these games with three or four rotational guys out. Like, I think last year, we were going six or seven rotational guys out, but it’s a different team for sure and the fact that we got some youth and speed and we’re able to go out there and scrap with some intensity and play hard and all that kind of stuff and give ourselves a chance, that’s all I keep saying." - Nick Nurse on his team fighting through injuries.


"He was impactful all over the floor. He just did not want to disappoint, that's all it came down to. He did not want to let his teammates down." - J.B. Bickerstaff after his team’s win against the Bulls in their game on Wednesday.
