The Detroit Pistons take on the Philadelphia 76ers at the Wells Fargo Center on Wednesday (December 21) in NBA Regular Season action.
The betting odds and predictions are given below:
The 8-25 Pistons have the worst record in the entire NBA as they are currently rooted to the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings. They come into this game on the back of an awful run of form, losing six of their last seven, including all of their last three. Their latest defeat came against the Utah Jazz 111-126. The Pistons have the worst defense in the league, rated 118.3, as they allow nearly 118 points per game to their opponents.
Jaden Ivey starred for the Pistons in their last game, scoring 30 points on the night. It was the first 30+ point game of his career as the rookie led the scoring for the Pistons on the night.
The Philadelphia 76ers are on an absolute tear. They have an overall record of 17-12, winning all of their last five games. They come into this game on the back of a 104-101 win over the Toronto Raptors.
Joel Embiid and James Harden are in awe-inspiring form at the moment. Embiid was averaging over 38 points per game right up until their clash against the Raptors, in which he scored 28 points. It was the first game this month where Embiid registered less than 30 points. Harden has been in great form this month, averaging 22-11-6 over the last six games.

Pistons vs. 76ers Betting Prediction
The 76ers are in terrific form and should continue along the same path once again. They have a very healthy record at the Wells Fargo Center, winning 12 of their 17 games at home.
The Pistons have only won once in their last seven games and come up against this formidable 76ers side who boast an in-form duo of Harden and Embiid.
Isaiah Stewart is in for a long night considering the red-hot form that Embiid is in. Philly should win comprehensively.
76ers : -11.5 (-109)
