The Philadelphia 76ers (1-0) head up north to Little Caesars Arena this evening to take on the Detroit Pistons (1-1). The Sixers are coming in hot off a clean season-opening 107-93 victory over the Boston Celtics, while the Pistons are looking to bounce back after a 17 point blowout loss to the Atlanta Hawks.
The Eastern Conference matchup tips off at 7:00PM EST, and the 76ers are favored at -5.5. Philadelphia went 3-1 against the Pistons in 2018, taking the season series between the two sides.
My Prediction
76ers win 116-88, improve to 2-0
Without going full “homer” mode and disrespecting the Pistons roster, this should be an extremely easy win for the new-look 76ers.
