2026 NBA Handicapping – Philadelphia 76ers vs. Detroit Pistons
Here’s why I’m backing Philly ATS in my 76ers Pistons free pick & gambling prediction for this matchup.
Philadelphia 76ers vs. Detroit Pistons Gameday
Philly travels to Denver on November 4th for an NBA matchup at Little Caesars Arena. Tipoff is scheduled for 7:00 ET, with both teams looking to make a statement.
Per John Schuhmann: The Pistons held their opponent to fewer than one point per possession just twice through Dec. 31 last season. They’ve already done so three times this year, even with Isaiah Stewart in Memphis and Jalen Duren having played just 38 total minutes. They’ve allowed just 91.3 per 100 in 78 minutes with Ausar Thompson and Paul Reed on the floor together.
Both teams last played on Monday, with the 76ers beating the Bulls 126-107 while the Pistons walloped the Hornets 124-91.

Philadelphia 76ers vs. Detroit Pistons Odds & Previous Games
In the win against the Bulls, Tyrese Maxey led the way with a double-double of 26 points and 11 assists. Jaylen Brown also collected a double-double of 25 points and 11 rebounds.
Every team that is going to make a run for the title needs depth, and while I wouldn’t characterize the Pistons as a deep team, they utilized 13 players in their victory over the Hornets.

76ers Pistons Key Matchup
Tyrese Maxey is leading the charge for the Sixers and, in the process, is playing too many minutes. Nick Nurse has to have him on the court, though, or the team suffers offensively.
He’s averaging 29.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, 5.3 assists, and 1.8 steals.

Cade Cunningham has continued his ascent up the superstar rankings and is undoubtedly headed for another All-NBA spot.
He’s averaging 23.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, 7.1 assists, and 2.7 stocks while shooting 37% from deep.
Philadelphia 76ers vs. Detroit Pistons bottom line: Without Duren, the Pistons haven’t lost a step defensively, but they’ve struggled offensively. Given the firepower the Sixers bring to the hardwood, that’s a problem.

76ers Pistons Free Pick: 76ers +2.5
Here is my 76ers Pistons free pick: I’m playing Philadelphia ATS and taking the points.
This should be a competitive battle, but if each side plays to their potential, I like the Sixers to not only cover, but win the match.
Per John Schuhmann: Maxey is averaging nearly 38 minutes per game (second in the league), and the offense has struggled (94.4 points scored per 100) with him off the floor. But Anfernee Simons has averaged 20 points off the bench over the last three games, and he was on the floor down the stretch in both games of their weekend back-to-back
I’m factoring in the absence of Jalen Duren, which will give the 76ers and Joel Embiid specifically an advantage upfront.
