The Philadelphia 76ers have won 11 straight games and are entering the postseason on an absolute tear right now. Philly puts its winning streak on the line against the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday. The Pistons continue to cash bets in the Motor City, as Detroit is a perfect 6-0 ATS in its past six home games.

Shortly after all-star center Joel Embiid went down with an orbital fracture, forward Dario Saric was held out of the Sixers lineup in a 121-95 triumph over the Brooklyn Nets in their last game. Ersan Ilyasova did a good job stepping into the starting lineup, as the veteran responded with 11 points and 13 boards in the win. Standout rookie Ben Simmons collected 15 points, 12 rebounds and six assists as Philly stayed within a half-game of third-place Cleveland in the East.
Detroit’s playoff chances are hanging by a thread but the team has won five in a row and seven of eight to stay alive in the postseason hunt. The Pistons are 4 1/2 games behind Milwaukee for the eighth and final playoff spot, but the team has been getting some solid play from point guard Reggie Jackson. Since returning from a lengthy injury layoff, Jackson scored a season-high 29 points vs Brooklyn and is averaging 18.8 over his last five.
Bettors need to be aware of the Sixers’ penchant for covering as faves. In their last nine when getting the favorite label, the 76ers are 9-0 ATS.
