[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Detroit Pistons (0-4) take on the Philadelphia 76ers (1-2) Wednesday at Wells Fargo Center. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NBA odds around the Pistons vs. 76ers odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting; 76ers won 4-0 last year

The Pistons have started the season 0-4 again, but they’ve been competitive in covering the last 2 against the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat. They’re going to break through at some point. G Cade Cunningham has gone Over his point total in 3 of 4, and he’s averaging 26.5 points oer game (PPG).

The Sixers decelerated the Indiana Pacers on the road Sunday with a 118-114 victory as 8-point dogs. G Tyrese Maxey had 45 points and 5 3-pointers with C Joel Embiid (knee) and F Paul George (knee) out of the lineup. Each of them will be out again Wednesday.

Pistons at 76ers picks and predictions

Prediction

Pistons 114, 76ers 111

Moneyline

Ring the alarms. The Pistons get their first win of the season. I would much rather take the +150 ML than the 4.5-point spread. This will be a shootout between Cunningham and Maxey. While Maxey is an insane scorer, his 3-ball isn’t there yet. He’s shooting just 23.7% from deep, and if the Pistons fortify the interior, Maxey will struggle.

Meanwhile, Cunningham has the size and athleticism alongside shooting 37% from distance, which would be a career high.

Take the PISTONS +150 in the upset.

Against the spread

As mentioned, there is no interest in the spread as we’re going to send it with the ML. Instead, I’m going with CADE CUNNINGHAM OVER 24.5 POINTS (-110). Because that will have to happen for the team to win or even contend. He had 24 and 21 in the last 2 games, but that was against Boston and Miami’s defenses. The Sixers are nowhere near the caliber of them defensively.

Over/Under

The Sixers are 3-0 O/U thus far, and that perfectly articulates their lacking defense as Embiid and PG13 have been out. The Pistons are 1-3 O/U, but they’re going to have some freedom to score in bunches.

Take the OVER 219.5 (-110).

Detroit Pistons at Philadelphia 76ers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Detroit Pistons at Philadelphia 76ers odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Detroit Pistons (13-65) and Philadelphia 76ers (44-35) meet at Wells Fargo Center Tuesday. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Pistons vs. 76ers odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: 76ers lead 3-0

The Pistons are coming off a cover as 10.5-point underdogs in a 113-103 loss to the Brooklyn Nets Saturday with the total (216) pushing at Barclays Center. Detroit led by 15 points with 7:49 remaining, before allowing a 29-4 Nets run to close out the game.

The 76ers, sans C Joel Embiid (rest), covered as 3-point favories with a 133-126 double-overtime win at the San Antonio Spurs Sunday as the Over (225) hit. G Tyrese Maxey scored a career-high 52 points for the 76ers, who have covered the spread in 7 straight games.

The 76ers are 2-1 ATS vs. the Pistons this season, and the Under has also gone 2-1. In their most recent meeting (Dec. 15), Philadelphia covered as a 15.5-point favorite in a 124-92 victory with the Under (235.5) cashing at Wells Fargo Center. Embiid had a game-high 35 points.

Pistons at 76ers picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 110, Pistons 107

Moneyline

The 76ers (-1600) are riding high. Embiid is healthy, they’ve won 5 in a row, and the playoffs are just around the corner. However, I don’t want to risk $1,600 to win $100 and fade a Pistons team that will be motivated to avoid the season sweep.

PASS. Bet the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

I have teams with 2 completely different mindsets heading into this one.

The Pistons are embarrassed after blowing a 19-point lead last time out, while the 76ers erased a 7-point deficit in the final 1:40 of regulation to come back and win in double overtime.

The Pistons are still playing for pride and to end the season on somewhat of a high note. I want no part of the complacent 76ers who have already clinched a postseason berth.

BET PISTONS +15 (-110).

Over/Under

Detroit is not exactly a juggernaut on offense (27th in offensive efficiency), and the 76ers may be looking to rest some pieces in an attempt to guarantee full health for a deep playoff run.

Looking at the injury report, a low-scoring game seems to be the more likely outcome Tuesday.

LEAN UNDER 220 (-110).

Analyzing Tuesday’s Detroit Pistons at Philadelphia 76ers odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Detroit Pistons (11-32) and Philadelphia 76ers (24-15) meet Tuesday at Wells Fargo Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Pistons vs. 76ers odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

These teams met Sunday as the 76ers covered the spread as 6-point favorites 123-111 at Detroit. Philadelphia G James Harden had a triple-double with 20 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists as the 76ers improved to 4-1 in their last 5 games. G Killian Hayes scored a game-high 26 points for Detroit, which played without its starting C Jalen Duren (ankle).

The Pistons are 5-1 against the spread (ATS) in their last 6 games following a double-digit loss at home in their previous game.

Philadelphia is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings with Detroit.

Pistons at 76ers picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 120, Pistons 111

Moneyline

PASS.

The 76ers (-700) should win, but their ML is too expensive. Bet the spread or total instead.

Against the spread

BET PISTONS +11.5 (-105).

Detroit bounces back well after getting embarrassed at home and Philadelphia may not be motivated to win by margin after cruising to an easy victory Sunday. An extra-focused Pistons team should be able to lose by single digits after underperforming in the last meeting.

Over/Under

BET OVER 227.5 (-110).

The 76ers have been 1 of the worst teams on defense lately. Philadelphia is bottom-5 in defensive efficiency over the last 3 games and the Over is 4-0 in the 76ers’ last 4 games. Detroit has been a top-10 team in shooting percentage (48.9%) over the last 3 games and should help the Over hit vs. an uninspired 76ers defense.

Detroit Pistons at Philadelphia 76ers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Detroit Pistons at Philadelphia 76ers odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The winless Detroit Pistons (0-3) travel east to take on the Philadelphia 76ers (2-2) at Wells Fargo Center Thursday. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Pistons vs. 76ers odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

The Pistons are the lone NBA team without a win after the predicted Oklahoma City Thunder victory Wednesday night.

Detroit is led by the talented SG Saddiq Bey and SF Jerami Grant. Grant missed the Pistons’ last game as a game-time decision and seems likely to play against Philly. Detroit hasn’t had an easy schedule so far, with games against the Chicago Bulls twice and the Atlanta Hawks, and the Sixers won’t help much there.

Philadelphia is coming off a 13-point loss to the New York Knicks. The 76ers have only dropped games to New York and the Brooklyn Nets, two respectable losses. They’re clearly hurting without the talent of three-time All-Star G Ben Simmons who remains on the sidelines.

  • C Joel Embiid (right knee) questionable
  • PG Shake Milton (right ankle) questionable
  • PG Ben Simmons (personal) out

Pistons at 76ers odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Pistons 103, 76ers 101

Money line

PASS on the money line, although I like the Pistons. It’s less about calling the upset and more about finding value when the matchups present themselves. The Pistons didn’t have Grant, their best player, against the Hawks.

Grant should be back, and I’d also think Embiid’s questionable tag is more likely to be doubtful. Pistons C Isaiah Stewart should be able to impact his efficiency even if he’s in.

Nonetheless, I’m still passing as getting points is the way to go here.

Against the spread

BET on the PISTONS +10.5 (-115) as the best value.

While Detroit hasn’t shown much, the market seems to be overkilling a Sixers team that heavily relies on the three. Philadelphia is the fourth-most efficient team from deep.

Along those lines, the Sixers are dead last in PACE, showing how slow they play and how dependent they are in the half-court setting. They may struggle to find an identity without their two main stars if Embiid misses this one.

I also favor the Pistons for how Grant, PF Kelly Olynyk or Stewart match up with the likes of PF Tobias Harris. Oddly enough, the Pistons rank in the top ten in defensive rating.

They should be able to hold the Sixers down with their length, especially if Grant is able to play.

Over/Under

BET on the UNDER 214.5 (-112) as great value.

While it’s on the lower side, the Pistons rank dead last in offensive rating at 91. The second-worst team is over 100. Detroit has struggled to score.

The Sixers rank in the top five of offensive rating but have the slowest moving offense in the NBA, preferring the half court setting than transition, especially without Simmons.

If one of Embiid or Grant decides to rest, which does feel likely, the amount of playmaking would take a drastic hit and the Under should hit. That feels like the more possible side.

The 76ers posted a 109-107 win over the New Orleans Pelicans, not even coming close to covering an 11.5-point number. It was still good for their seventh consecutive victory while going 5-2 ATS during the span.

Pistons at 76ers: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

76ers 112, Pistons 107

Money line (ML)

The 76ers (-650) will cost you six and a half times your potential return, and that’s way too risky. They barely edged the Pelicans on Friday, and now they have the quick turnaround against a team coming off a big win.

AVOID.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

The PISTONS +11 (-115) have a lengthy injury report, but that didn’t stop them from dealing the Grizzlies a loss last time out as an underdog.

The 76ers -11 (-105) barely made it past the Pels on Friday. While I expect the Sixers to get it done, take the Pistons with the points. They will keep it within single digits.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 221.5 (-110) is the lean here. The Under is 9-3-1 in Detroit’s last 13 games overall while going 4-1 in the past five road outings.

The Under is also the trend for Philly, going 5-1 in the past six as a home favorite, and 14-5 in the past 19 overall as a favorite. In addition, the Under is 6-1 in the past seven when playing on no rest.
