On the glass, Embiid has been just as dominant, exceeding this listed prop in four of the last five games, averaging exactly 11 rebounds per game during that span. Joel Embiid and James Harden are playing well together, as the former has scored 30+ points in two of his last three against the Pistons (including a 37-point effort in the most recent meeting), so we’re expecting him to dominate Wednesday’s matchup. 76ers prediction is on the 76ers to cover the spread, but they also broke down the player props for Philadelphia’s C Joel Embiid. After all, Embiid is averaging 33 points per game this season and continues to deliver each and every night. The Pistons are without a win on the road in Philadelphia in their previous eight visits, so a lot of things would have to go their way in tonight’s game for them to pull an upset. There is still no update on the health of Tyrese Maxey, as he continues to rehab his foot injury. Detroit heads to Philadelphia as double-digit underdogs, to face a team they’ve lost to 11 times over the last 13 meetings. Detroit is firmly in last place in the Eastern Conference and seems destined to make a run at Victor Wembanyama in next year’s draft. The 76ers have been bullying teams inside the pain of late, thanks to the stellar play of Joel Embiid.
