Pistons vs. Sixers Game Thread: Game Time, TV, Odds, and More
The Detroit Pistons face the Philadelphia 76ers tonight, entering the matchup with the top record in the Eastern Conference. This marks the latest point in a season they have held the No. 1 seed since the Flip Saunders era.
Detroit’s success has been powered by Jalen Duren’s dominance in the paint and Cade Cunningham’s clutch performances in late-game situations. However, the team’s schedule so far has been relatively light. Among their victories, only one came against a team with a winning record — the Houston Rockets. The other six wins were against sub-.500 opponents, while their two losses came versus the Chicago Bulls and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
“A game tonight against the Sixers can say a lot about where they are.”
