Betting on the Detroit Pistons
- Regular Season Record: 8-25
The Detroit Pistons enter this game at the bottom of the Eastern Conference and owning the worst record in the NBA. The Pistons have had a very sluggish campaign, and it doesn’t look like that will start to change this time around, given that away from home is where they have recorded 13 of their 24 losses. However, they could get some confidence from the fact that they won in their last home game.
The Pistons’ numbers are in line with their record, as they average just 111.3 points scored per game, and they own the second-worst defense in the league with an average of 117.9 points allowed per game.
Betting on the Philadelphia 76ers
- Regular Season Record: 17-12
Although they didn’t get off to the best start, the Philadelphia 76ers already seem to have fine-tuned the necessary details for the team to mesh as expected, and they are in the midst of a five-game winning streak after defeating the Toronto Raptors by a record of 101-104.Consequently, they moved up to fifth place in the Eastern Conference, just 4.5 games behind the top spot.
During that winning streak, the 76ers have been superbas they limited their rivals to an average of 109.0 points allowed, and they were highly effective offensively with an average of 121.0 points scored.This is clearly related to James Harden’s comeback and to his good understanding with Joel Embiid.
The solidity they have shown at home has also played a key role in the recovery of the 76ers, who have posted a 12-5 home record and have won 10 of their last 11 home games.
JefeBet Prediction
The 76ers have had a difficult start to the season offensively, but they have made a big jump in quality now that Harden and Embiid are sharing the court. And this time, they should have no problem being effective against a Pistons team that has one of the weakest defenses in the league.
In addition to that, the team from Detroit is not the most outstanding offensively, so they will have it difficult against a 76ers defense that has maintained its decent performance, and that at home averages only 105.8 points allowed per game.
What’s more, the Pistons will have to face this game after playing the day before, which the 76ers, who are inspired and far superior, will surely be able to take advantage of. Therefore, in this game, we expect the Philadelphia 76ers to come away with a comfortable victory.
Prediction: Philadelphia 76ers Spread.
