The Detroit Pistons (7-2) visit the Philadelphia 76ers (6-3) in a Sunday night matchup between Eastern Conference contenders at Xfinity Mobile Area in Philly.
Detroit enters on a five-game winning streak, fueled by stellar defense and a good-enough offense. The Pistons are averaging 116.7 points per game and own a top-three defense. Cade Cunningham has opened strong at 25.6 points per game, while Jalen Duren has taken a noticeable leap, averaging 19.2 points and 11.3 rebounds as a force in the paint.
Philadelphia will be without Joel Embiid, who is resting after Saturday’s win over the Toronto Raptors. The Sixers leaned on Tyrese Maxey in that one, as he poured in 31 points to continue his blistering start (33.2 points and 8.3 assists per game).
Philadelphia’s backcourt depth has also been a bright spot, with Kelly Oubre Jr. (19.2 ppg), Quentin Grimes (17.7 ppg off the bench), and rookie VJ Edgecombe (16.9 ppg) all contributing consistently, though Edgecombe has cooled slightly of late.
Predictions
Without Embiid, the Sixers’ offense can still keep pace, but Detroit’s defense and interior strength provide the edge.
Prediction: Pistons 115, 76ers 111
