Sixers resume lengthy homestand against struggling Pistons
Basketball Betting Lines
01/28/2012 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Philadelphia 76ers will resume a season-long seven-game
homestand tonight by welcoming the struggling Detroit Pistons to Wells Fargo
Center.
The Sixers improved to 2-1 on the residency Friday when Lou Williams scored 17
points to lead a balanced Philadelphia attack as the 76ers easily handled
Charlotte, 89-72, leading wire-to-wire and by as many as 30 points.
Jrue Holiday celebrated his own bobblehead night by adding 15 points and Jodie
Meeks contributed 14 for the Atlantic division-leading Sixers, who avoided
losing back-to-back games for the first time this season. Thaddeus Young also
reached double figures with 10 points off the bench.
"A very good win for us tonight from the standpoint of I really like the way
we came out defensively and were very aggressive," said Sixers coach Doug
Collins. "We really moved the ball well in that first half."
Philadelphia held the Bobcats to just 38.6 percent shooting and were able to
rest many of their key contributors.
"To not have guys play heavy minutes is a real blessing," Collins said.
Centers Spencer Hawes (strained left Achilles) and Nikola Vucevic
(hyperextended left knee/strained left quadriceps) remained out of the lineup
for Philly. Hawes indicated he could play tonight but the team is likely
targeting his return for Monday against Dwight Howard and the Magic. The
rookie Vucevic, meanwhile, remains day-to-day.
Philadelphia, which is 9-2 this season at WFC, will finish its residency with
games against much tougher competition: Orlando, Chicago and Miami.
The Pistons, who are opening up a four-game road trip tonight that will also
feature visits to Milwaukee, New York and New Jersey, dropped their third
straight on Friday, a 107-101 overtime loss to Atlanta in Auburn Hills.
Greg Monroe paced Detroit with 22 points and 11 boards while rookie Brandon
Knight contributed 20 points and a career- high eight assists as the Pistons
lost for the 13th time in 15 games. Jason Maxiell added a season-high 19
points off the bench in defeat.
"We take every loss personally, not just a close loss. I think every loss is a
personal loss," Knight said. "You just don't favor one over the other, but
this one will hurt a little bit more."
The banged-up Pistons were without guards Ben Gordon (sore left shoulder) and
Will Bynum (sprained right foot) as well as forwards Tayshaun Prince (family
issue) and Charlie Villanueva (sprained right ankle). None are expected back
in Philadelphia tonight as Detroit attempts to improve on its dismal 1-8 road
record.
The Sixers have won two of their last three games against the Pistons,
including a 96-73 rout at the Wells Fargo Center back on Jan. 6 behind Meeks'
21 points.
Collins, however, thinks the Pistons are tougher than they seem.
"Detroit is better than its record," the coach said. "They have got good
guards. They're a very good defensive team. We're going to have to play well
to get that game tomorrow night."
