Pistons vs. 76ers Betting Prediction

The 76ers are in terrific form and should continue along the same path once again. They have a very healthy record at the Wells Fargo Center, winning 12 of their 17 games at home.

The Pistons have only won once in their last seven games and come up against this formidable 76ers side who boast an in-form duo of Harden and Embiid.

Isaiah Stewart is in for a long night considering the red-hot form that Embiid is in. Philly should win comprehensively.

76ers : -11.5 (-109)
