Cade Cunningham continues his All-Star push, averaging 25.6 points and 7.4 assists while shooting a career-best 46.6 percent from the floor. Rookie forward Ron Holland has provided two-way spark off the bench, and Detroit’s defense has climbed to seventh in efficiency during the current stretch. The key concern: interior depth, with Isaiah Stewart (shoulder) and Marcus Sasser (ankle) both sidelined. Maxey’s solo act in Philly With Joel Embiid (knee) and Paul George (hamstring) ruled out, Tyrese Maxey has assumed alpha status, pouring in an NBA-high 33.2 points per game and hitting 41 percent from beyond the arc. The 24-year-old’s usage rate has soared to 33.8 percent in the last four contests, forcing head coach Nick Nurse to stagger rotations around his dynamic guard. Veteran Kelly Oubre Jr. (19.1 PPG) offers secondary scoring, but Philadelphia’s bench ranks 24th in points, creating a potential mismatch against Detroit’s deeper second unit. Matchups to watch 1. Cade Cunningham vs. Tyrese Maxey – Both guards excel at downhill attacks; whichever controls tempo could dictate the result. 2. Jalen Duren vs. Mo Bamba – Duren’s rebounding dominance (11.9 RPG) meets Bamba’s rim protection in Embiid’s absence. 3. Three-point variance – Detroit is top-10 in attempts, while Philly ranks fourth in percentage. Hot shooting could swing momentum early. Odds, lines and best bets FanDuel lists Detroit as a 4.5-point road favorite with a consensus total of 233.5. The Pistons have covered in six straight and own the NBA’s best net rating (+8.4) since Oct. 31. Philadelphia is 1-3 ATS when Embiid sits. Lean: Pistons -4.5 and Under 233.5, banking on Detroit’s size advantage and Philly’s thinner rotation. Prediction Pistons 118, 76ers 110 — Detroit extends its win streak to six behind Cunningham’s balanced 28-8-7 line, while Maxey’s 35 aren’t enough to overcome a 17-offensive-rebound night for the visitors.
