The 76ers gave Chicago 23 points off 14 turnovers Monday. Detroit's pressure is the strongest reason to back Pistons -2.5 here.
The Pistons have allowed 102.0 points per 100 possessions through 7 games, the NBA's best defensive rating. On Monday, they turned Charlotte's 27 turnovers into 37 points in a 124-91 win.
That turnover scoring gives Detroit a way to build a lead without relying entirely on half-court offense against Philadelphia. The Pistons also won Monday's fast-break scoring 27-4.
Cade Cunningham finished with 33 points and 7 assists, while Duncan Robinson made 6 of 9 threes.
Detroit also got shooting from its bench: Kevin Huerter went 3 of 5 from deep and Ron Holland II went 3 of 6.
