The Detroit Pistons take on the Philadelphia 76ers with first place in the Eastern Conference standings on the line at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit on Wednesday! Both teams have looked like NBA Finals contenders in the opening weeks of the regular season, sitting tied at the top of the Eastern Conference standings.
The Pistons come into the game with a 6-1 record including a 106-93 win at Philadelphia last month, and are one of four teams to be unbeaten at home. The 76ers enter the matchup with a 7-1 record and four straight wins, highlighted by a pair of wins over the defending NBA champion New York Knicks.
Detroit is led by All-Star guard Cade Cunningham (team-high 23.7 points and 7.1 assists per game), and forwards Ausar Thompson and John Collins. Philadelphia is powered by the best starting lineup in the NBA with guards Tyrese Maxey and Jaylen Brown, forward LeBron James and center Joel Embiid.
The Pistons are 2.5 point favorites over the 76ers with the over/under placed at 219.5 total points according to FanDuel Sportsbook. It should be a very competitive game as both teams vie for an early-season statement win and by the end of it, only one of the teams will sit alone atop the Eastern Conference standings.
