Last game: 3/10 (Mon) L 100-86 Vs. Celtics
Last 10: 7-3
Last meeting: Jan 23rd - Pistons (86) @ 76ers (78)
Apparently the 76ers are playing some pretty good ball lately? The Sixers are in the 7th playoff slot right now and they’re winners of 12 of their last 16 games. It’s kinda easy to lose Philly in the NBA shuffle. They’re a pretty nondescript team now-a-days. The other A.I., Andre Iguodala is having a nice stat year for himself leading the Sixers. He’s averaging 19.6 ppg (which is 5 ppg over his career average), 5.5 rpb, and 4.6 apg. He and Andre Miller, who’s averaging 16.9 ppg and 6.7 apg, make a nice 1-2 punch.
The Pistons have won 13 of the last 15 meeting with Philadelphia which includes 6 0f the last 7 at the Palace. The Pistons will also looking to win their fourth consecutive home game on the cusp of hosting three tough Western foes (Spurs, Nuggets and Hornets) at the Palace.
