Detroit +159 ML over Philadelphia

Little Caesars Arena – Detroit, MI

7:30 PM ET. This is what "sticking with it" is all about. On Wednesday, we rolled with the Pistons as a +208 underdog against Cleveland, and for a moment, it looked like we might cash that ticket. Detroit erased an eight-point deficit in the final minute and forced overtime, riding a wave of momentum that had upset written all over it. And then… Darius Garland happened.

From near half-court, Garland flung up a prayer that banked in at the buzzer, sending Detroit into a state of shock while the Cavs celebrated like they’d just won the Finals. Brutal. The knee-jerk reaction? Swear off the Pistons forever. But that’s not how we roll. This is where “sticking with it” separates the pros from the panic-bettors.

Enter the Philadelphia 76ers, winners of nine of the last ten against Detroit, covering in seven of those. The Sixers have already come to the Motor City once this season and left with a comfortable 15-point win. Given those trends, plus the heartbreak the Pistons just endured, who wouldn’t bet Philly here laying less than a three-pointer when the line opened? That’s precisely the point. Detroit just lost to a shot from another zip code, yet oddsmakers wouldn’t even give them three points? Suspicious.

The market has piled on Philly, pushing the number slightly in our favor, but we don’t need the extra point. Detroit will be looking to exorcise Wednesday’s demons, and what better way to do it than by knocking off a team that’s tormented them? We’re sticking with it—Pistons moneyline.
