Here’s how we are betting for the Detroit Pistons vs Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday night.
Best Bet for Detroit Pistons vs Philadelphia 76ers
Our best bet for Detroit Pistons vs Philadelphia 76ers is Pistons -14.5 (-108) against the spread.
The Detroit Pistons have been having an excellent campaign this NBA season. They are currently at the top of the standings in the East with a 46-18 record, and are coming off a win. However, in the last ten games, the Pistons could manage to win only five. The 76ers, on the other hand, are at the eighth spot in the conference, and have also won five of their last ten games.
Statistically, the Pistons dropped to the tenth spot in offensive rating, while their defense has helped them maintain the second seed. On the contrary, their rivals are 14th offensively, while their defense has occupied them the 17th spot.
The spread at Pistons -14.5 fits the hosts well considering their offensive edge and elite defense. They generally cover well in such spots.
Keeping the Pistons’ elite on-court stats as well as homecourt advantage in mind, we are comfortably laying Detroit Pistons -14.5 (-108) as our best bet, and expect the hosts to cover the number easily.
Same-Game Parlay Picks for Detroit Pistons vs Philadelphia 76ers
We have combined this same-game parlay for the Pistons to record a lopsided win at home over the 76ers. Cade Cunningham is the engine leading the Pistons’ offense, making valuable contributions in every game. Jalen Duren, on the other hand, has proven his worth, by shouldering offensive duties alongside Cunningham. In addition, he has got a solid dominance on the board. We expect both Cunningham and Duren to make the most of the Pistons’ upper hand, and give a tough fight to their rivals.
These legs are correlated considering if the Pistons get control of the ball right from the beginning, their players will get more scoring opportunities. Hence, this is our safer SGP option.
