Detroit Pistons

The Pistons have a better tournament position than Philadelphia. The team from Michigan has improved significantly this season under J.B. Bickerstaff and currently sits in the play-in zone - eighth in the Eastern Conference with a 25-26 record. And Detroit is just 1.0 wins away from the top-6.

The meeting with Philadelphia will be the Pistons' fifth straight home game. So far, Detroit is 2-2 in that stretch. First, the Pistons won two in a row - 117:102 over Dallas and 127:119 over Chicago - and then lost to Atlanta (130:132) and Cleveland (115:118). With the match with the Cavaliers, everything was decided by a shot at the final siren from Darius Garland.

Philadelphia 76ers

The 76ers are not even in the play-in zone yet. The team sits in 11th place in the Eastern Conference with a 20-30 record and 1.0 wins separates them from the top 10. At the same time, Phila is gradually building an optimal lineup and has started winning consistently in recent weeks. In eight previous games, the 76ers have five wins.

Last game, however, Philadelphia lost. At home in a back-to-back format, the Seventy Sixers failed to cope with Miami - 101:108. Separately in the Phils' lineup, we'd like to mention Tyrese Maxey, who scored 31 points, but Paul George failed - 9 points on 3-of-11 shooting. In addition, the 76ers again could not count on Joel Embiid.

Expert Betting Tips

Philadelphia and Detroit are currently about equal opponents, and the equal score in the season series is far from a coincidence. We will not consider betting options on the outcome here, and choose neutral bets on performance. Let's take TO. Yes, both face-to-face meetings between the teams in the current championship turned out to be low-scoring, but since the last game, which took place in early December, both the Pistons and the 76ers have improved on offense.
