Both of these teams prefer to play at a slower place. When playing teams who prefer to limit the game’s possessions, Philly wins 61% of the time. Detroit has far less success winning just 17% of the time.
Historically, the Sixers play some of their best basketball against bad offensive teams. On average, they beat teams who struggle to score 88% of the time. Their average margin of victory is 11 points.
The Detroit defense does not perform well against teams profiling similarly to Philly. These opponents score three points per possession above expectation.
So far, the Pistons are an average defensive team. When the 76ers take on such units, they score four points per possession above the league average. This leads to to a win percentage of 79%.
With Philadelphia being among the best defensive teams in the league, I expect Detroit to have a tough scoring. On average they beat teams with good defenses 21% of the time,
I am projecting this game to be a little closer than most and am taking the Pistons to cover the 7.5 point spread.
