Detroit Pistons vs Philadelphia 76ers
The Pistons go into this one with a 31% winning record, and naturally as underdogs against the Philadelphia 76ers. John Kuester will be sure to keep an eye on the Philadelphia streak (W 2), but the key against 76ers will be containing Andre Iguodala, Elton Brand and Andres Nocioni. The Pistons point differential is -5 this season (good for number 25 in the NBA), but not as good as the Philadelphia 76ers’s average losing margin of -0.4 in the 2010-2011 NBA season.
Playing on the road, the 76ers will need to play to their strengths and their 12.7 turnovers per game is their strongest statistical attribute (and 1st in the whole league in that area). Doug Collins’s team is 15-21 this season and today will hope to improve their 5-15 record away from Wachovia Center.
Detroit have been dominating their opponents this season in the turnovers departement, with a -1.1 turnovers differential advantage over their opponents on average over the season. Their 12.8 turnovers average per game is 2nd best in the NBA, and that will be an area that Doug Collins and his coaching staff will want to balance out today if they want to dampen the Pistons’ 8-8 home record.Detroit Pistons vs Philadelphia 76ers live stream online
