Command Analysis
Detroit Pistons
USACurrent form
After a good stretch of the season, the Pistons faced problems and have already lost twice in a row. First, they lost to Atlanta in a tense duel (130:132), and then they could not put up a decent resistance to the leader of the East, Cleveland (107:124). Because of this, the team fell back to the seventh position, risking losing the chances of a direct entry into the playoffs.
The main strength of Detroit remains Cade Cunningham, who showed a high level of play in the last meeting. However, one leader is not enough, and the team needs to improve teamwork, especially in defense.
The upcoming match against Philadelphia is a chance to rehabilitate yourself and return to the winning path. The Pistons will be playing on their home court, which should add to their confidence.
Disqualifications and injuries
Jayden Ivey and Wendell Moore will not play in the next match due to injuries.
Interesting facts for betting
The Pistons have recorded 12 wins this season.
Approximate composition: Harris-Thompson, Duren-Cunningham, Hardway.
Philadelphia 76ers
USACurrent form
The Sixers failed to gain a foothold in the top 10 of the Eastern Conference and continue to slip. In the recent match against Miami (101:108), the team looked good, but problems in defense and lack of teamwork prevented a victory. Tyrese Maxi continues to show fantastic form, but without the support of his partners, his individual actions do not bring the desired result.
The club is missing Joel Embiid, who is close to returning. Despite the arrival of Paul George, the team still cannot find a balance between attack and defense. Going to Detroit will be another serious challenge for Philadelphia. If they can't get the game right, they risk another defeat.
Disqualifications and injuries
Jared McCain will not go out on the floor due to health problems.
Interesting facts for betting
In 4 of the last 5 face-to-face matches, the Sixers celebrated the victory.
Approximate line-up: Edwards - George, Embiid - Oubre, Maxi.

1.92Tip and bets
Detroit continues to fight for a place in the top six, but recent setbacks force the team to look for new tactics. The Pistons understand that the meeting with Philadelphia is an important moment in the season. In turn, the Sixers are still unstable and suffering from injuries to their leaders. Despite Tyrese Maxi's efforts, the visitors continue to lose points, which negatively affects their positions in the table. We believe that Detroit will take advantage of the opponent's weaknesses and at least avoid defeat.
Our forecast is that Detroit will win with a handicap of (+5) points in 1.72
Bet on the total
After two defeats in a row, the Pistons will try to rehabilitate themselves, but it is unlikely that the game will be super-productive. Philadelphia is having trouble attacking, especially in the absence of Embiid, while Detroit will focus on playing solid defense. We assume that the total will not be broken.
Forecast - total less than 227.5 points for 1.68
Betting on statistics
Detroit understands that Tyrese Maxi is the main threat, so the team will try to limit his opportunities. If the hosts cut off the oxygen to the Sixers' leader, it will be extremely difficult for the guests to score points. We believe that Philadelphia will not break its individual total in this match.
Prediction – Philadelphia's individual total is less than 113.5 points for 1.86
