Pistons vs. Sixers: Game Preview, Odds, and More
The Detroit Pistons head into tonight’s matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers holding the best record in the Eastern Conference — their latest run at the top since the Flip Saunders era. The team has found momentum behind the rise of Jalen Duren as a dominant frontcourt presence and the late-game composure of Cade Cunningham.
Team Performance Overview

The Pistons have only defeated one team with a winning record — the Houston Rockets — while their remaining six victories came against sub-.500 opponents.
