The Detroit Pistons visited the Philadelphia 76ers back in April 2024 and were 15-point underdogs. In 2026, it\u2019s the Pistons who are the 15-point chalk.<\/p>\n

I’m not crazy about backing Detroit at a big number, but my\u00a076ers vs. Pistons predictions have found some value in a Tobias Harris player prop.<\/p>\n

That and more NBA picks<\/a> for this Eastern Conference clash set to tip off at 7:00 p.m. ET on Prime Video this Thursday, March 12.<\/p>\n

76ers vs Pistons prediction<\/p>\n

76ers vs Pistons best bet: Tobias Harris Over 5.5 rebounds (+102)<\/p>\n

The Philadelphia 76ers<\/a> were always going to be underdogs in this matchup, but all the injuries are why the number is so big.<\/p>\n

Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid, and Kelly Oubre Jr. are all out. And more recently, Andre Drummond has been downgraded to questionable.<\/p>\n

Philly already struggled on the glass, ranking 22nd in rebounding rate and 19th in opponent rebounds per game. The Detroit Pistons<\/a> have the third-highest rebounding rate in the NBA.<\/p>\n

So, give me Tobias Harris<\/a> Over 5.5 rebounds. He\u2019s hauling down 6.5 rebounds per game over his last 12, topping this number seven times.<\/p>\n

76ers vs Pistons same-game parlay<\/p>\n

With all those injuries, somebody’s going to have to score for the Sixers. My best bet in this case is Cam Payne<\/a>. The journeyman guard showed he can still get buckets after coming off a 32-point performance against the Memphis Grizzlies.<\/p>\n

With not many other options to take shots, over 12.5 points looks like a solid bet here.<\/p>\n

However, that doesn\u2019t mean Philly will score consistently. The Pistons are one of the best defensive teams in the NBA, ranking second in defensive rating. They\u2019ll keep the Sixers under their team total in this one.<\/p>\n
