Detroit Pistons Basketball Preview - 02-07-2025 The Pistons added some depth at the trade deadline with Dennis Schroeder's acquisition, although it is expected that he will sit out this game. Cade Cunningham remains their primary scoring threat with 25.6 PPG and 9.4 APG so far this season; additionally he can connect on 12.8 three-pointers per game (17th overall in NBA).
Philadelphia will face off against a Detroit team who lost its last outing despite Cade Cunningham's impressive showing. Meanwhile, Philadelphia has been on an upward trend lately, winning seven out of their past nine games while Embiid and Simmons average a combined 34.8 points, 10.7 rebounds, and 7.4 assists during those victories - they must maintain that level of production against an equally potent Pistons squad.
The Philadelphia 76ers' defense has struggled to contain some of the league's top scorers this season, and that could continue against Detroit's star trio of Blake Griffin, Andre Drummond and Mattise Maxey - with Maxey especially showing his talents against Philly this year by averaging 29.7 points and 13 rebounds against Philly on average this year.
The Philadelphia 76ers have covered the spread in 20 of 31 games they were favorites this season and 4-13 when playing as at least 2.5-point underdogs. This game's total is 223.7 points; which is nearly three more than their average in such contests this year.
