Detroit Pistons vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Wednesday, 10/30/24

The Detroit Pistons head to Philadelphia in hopes of winning their first game of the season as they take on the 76ers. Who will prevail? Find out in our Detroit Pistons vs Philadelphia 76ers Predictions below.

We’re only 4 games in and the Pistons once again find themselves bottom of the Eastern Conference and on a 4-game losing streak. New head coach J.B. Bickerstaff is yet to find solutions for the issues that plagued this team last season, newest addition Tobias Harris is averaging just 10 points per game. He faces his old team the Sixers here, it’ll be interesting to see if he can get extra motivated and try to prove them wrong for getting rid of him. The Pistons have not had much luck lately in meetings vs Philadelphia, they’ve lost 8 straight and are just 1-7 against the spread in those games.

Joel Embiid and Paul George have once again been ruled out by the 76ers, which means we’re still waiting for their debut together in a Sixers uniform. They’ll be looking to win their first home game of the season here, after a OT victory at Indiana over the weekend. Tyrese Maxey flourished with 45 points, scoring 10 of the 13 Philly points in overtime. With those two out of the line-up, Maxey is once again expected to carry the load offensively and I think he will respond. The 76ers are 4-point favorites and they’ve covered in 5 straight home games vs the Pistons.

Philadelphia cannot afford to lose games against teams like the Pistons, if they plan on finishing as one of the top 4 teams in the East. As we saw in the Warriors game last night, being shorthanded at home can rally the troops, I think we’ll see a similar scenario in tonight’s game. I’m picking the 76ers to cover at home.
