This season, 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey is averaging 28.7 points per game while shooting 46.9 percent from the field and 32.0 percent from 3.<\/p>\n
The 3-point shot has gotten off to a slow start for Maxey, but he\u2019s scored 26 or more points in every game for this Philly team. The All-Star guard is clearly the No. 1 option on offense so far in the 2026-27 campaign, and he could see even more touches on Sunday with Embiid likely sitting on the second night of a back-to-back.<\/p>\n
Maxey has 19, 23 and 22 shot attempts in his three games this season, so I don\u2019t mind him at this discounted number, even in a back-to-back. The University of Kentucky product has averaged at least 25.9 points per game in each of his last three completed seasons.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Pistons vs. 76ers Prediction and Pick<\/p>\n
Earlier today, I shared in my NBA Best Bets column \u2013 Peter\u2019s Points<\/a> \u2013 why I\u2019m taking Philly to win outright:\u00a0<\/p>\n The Philadelphia 76ers rested LeBron James on Saturday in their win over the Milwaukee Bucks, a sign that they\u2019re going after this back-to-back against the undefeated Detroit Pistons.<\/p>\n Even though Joel Embiid wants to play in Sunday\u2019s game for the 76ers, I don\u2019t expect him to suit up after putting up a triple-double in Saturday\u2019s win.\u00a0<\/p>\n Joel Embiid (injury management) when asked if he’ll play on Sunday:<\/p>\n “I have no idea. I actually want to play tomorrow, so can you guys put pressure on [the Sixers’ medical staff]?”<\/p>\n (via @mcten<\/a>)<\/p>\n \u2014 Underdog NBA (@UnderdogNBA) October 25, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Philly now has wins over New York, Cleveland and Milwaukee, and it\u2019s slightly favored at home on Sunday against a banged-up Detroit team. Jalen Duren (hamstring) is out and Ausar Thompson is questionable for this matchup.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Pistons have two impressive wins over Miami and Boston, but can they handle this Sixers team with Duren sidelined? If Embiid sits, there is a better case for a Detroit upset, but I\u2019m still buying the quartet of James, Tyrese Maxey, Jaylen Brown and VJ Edgecombe on Sunday.<\/p>\n The Sixers are 11th in the NBA in net rating and the No. 4 defense through three games, and the Pistons aren\u2019t going to be able to take advantage of a weak Philly frontcourt as much with Duren out.\u00a0<\/p>\n I don\u2019t mind taking the Sixers to win at home and move to 4-0.\u00a0<\/p>\n Pick: Sixers Moneyline (-102 at DraftKings)<\/a><\/p>\n Odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.<\/p>\n If you or someone you know has a gambling problem and wants help, call 1-800-GAMBLER.<\/p>\n Find Peter Dewey’s\u00a0NBA betting record here<\/a>\u00a0(futures included).
