Despite some brief in-game hiccups last week, the Philadelphia 76ers are thus far taking care of this easy portion of their schedule, racking up three straight wins to move to 15-7 on the season. Monday night’s win over Washington was an absolute demolition derby, with the Sixers crushing the Wizards by 45 points. Tonight could be a similar situation as Philadelphia takes the court against the Pistons.
Detroit is a league-worst 2-21 on the season, losers of 20 straight games. It’s just the ninth single-season 20-game losing streak in NBA history with the Pistons approaching the record of 28 straight losses, a product of the Process Sixers across the 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons.
