NBA: Pistons - 76ers
While the Pistons have lots of cap space, the 76ers do not, with huge salaries going to Joel Embiid, Tobias Harris and (if he opts in, as expected) James Harden. If the Sixers get a player, they need to ship players out of similar salary. Green is not going to help them on the court this year, so he is the perfect candidate.
NBA: Pistons - 76ers
Who would the 76ers want? Well, Jerami Grant surely, but that is not happening for the No. 23 pick (Yes, I know Christian Wood went from Houston to Dallas for basically No. 26, but Detroit is not looking to move Grant unless get a good offer)
Even without Embiid, the 76ers still have a much more talented roster than the Pistons. The trio of G James Harden, G Tyrese Maxey and F Tobias Harris should be able to carry the load offensively and win by margin vs. a Pistons team that just wrapped up a 5-game road trip. The 76ers are 6-4 without Embiid in the lineup this season and should be able to run up the score vs. the Pistons who are ranked dead-last in the NBA in defensive efficiency at home. Lay the points.
The 76ers are 11-1 ATS in their last 12 home games and 6-1 ATS in their last 7 home games against a team with a losing road record. The Pistons are 1-7 ATS in the last 8 road meetings against the 76ers and 5-13 ATS in the last 18 meetings overall.
The Philadelphia 76ers invaded Little Caesars Arena on Sunday afternoon short-handed as they took on the Detroit Pistons. The Sixers were missing Joel Embiid due to left foot soreness and PJ Tucker due to a non-COVID illness.
Game notes: Sixers go for the season sweep of the Pistons in the third and final meeting of the season between the teams. Philadelphia won Sunday in Detroit, 123-111, behind James Harden (20 points, 11 rebounds, 11 assists in 28 minutes) and Tyrese Maxey (23 points). Killian Hayes scored a season-high 26 for the Pistons, who committed 22 turnovers to create 21 Sixers points in another ugly performance. 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot) did not play, but he's playing in this game against a Pistons frontline with only Nerlens Noel, Embiid's former teammate. Sixers forward P.J. Tucker (illness) is also expected to rejoin the lineup.
The result was a 106-86 road loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday night at Wells Fargo Center. After taking an 8-6 lead in the first quarter, the Pistons never regained the advantage. Christian Wood finished with 19 points and 10 rebounds in 23 minutes, Tony Snell 17 points and Luke Kennard 11 points for the Pistons (2-2).
