1.88Tip and bets
Bookmakers do not believe in Detroit success. Bookmakers' experts consider Philadelphia to be the clear favorite of the upcoming match, while admitting that the home team may lose without their leaders. The Pistons are close to repeating their anti-records of the last championship this season. There are no prerequisites for the team from the Motor City to improve their game. The Sixers will have to achieve a difficult victory on their home court.
Our prediction is a Philadelphia victory with a handicap of (-2.5) points, taking into account overtime, at 1.77
Bet on total
Philadelphia and Detroit usually have low scoring games. The average score in the last ten games was 219 points. There is no reason for the teams to focus more on attack this time. The game should not be high scoring.
Our prediction is total under 220.5 points including overtime at 1.76
Bet on the player
Maxey played 70 games in the 2023/24 regular season and averaged 25.9 points per game. The 23-year-old point guard has shown through his play that he is capable of maintaining a decent scoring level. The gold medalist of the World Junior Championship as part of the US national team will have to demonstrate his sniper qualities this time around.
Our prediction is Maxi total points over 21.5, including overtime, at 1.87
