NBA Monday

10-7-1  2,380

Detroit Pistons at Philadelphia 76ers
Philadelphia is 11-9, 7-5 at home holding a winning record and they will be hosting Detroit Pistons coming in at 7-15, 2-10 on the road, trying stay out of the NBA Central basement. Going into NBA Atlantic is a tough task for any team with only Toronto having a home losing record. The Sixers will look to regain the home edge and get back a win after splitting home win road loss on back to back games against Boston. The last game was not only a loss for the Sixers but their third lowest scoring game at 79 so there should be some offensive effort here. Most betters will side with the Sixers and they will count on Philadelphia to take care of business knocking out a weak road team like Detroit...  However you must keep in mind it was the Wells Fargo Center where the Pistons ended their 8 games straight losing streak to open their season. Since that win Detroit is playing .500 ball and they seem to be a spoiler for certain teams, like Oklahoma City beat them twice ATS, Cleveland twice SU & ATS and Philly round two? Detroit offensive scoring has risen in 5 straight games coming off a rare road win, even if it was against weak Cleveland team it was a step up for the Pistons. The 76ers very prone to dropping consecutive games as they have only bounced back from a single loss once against the spread and have yet to do so straight up. Going with the Pistons being a thorn to the Sixers.
