Will Joel Embiid play today? Pistons vs 76ers injury report, prediction
Breaking down and predicting the Detroit Pistons game Saturday against the Philadelphia 76ers, and the injury status of Joel Embiid and Tobias Harris.
The Detroit Pistons remain sharp late in the season even without Cade Cunningham, having defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves for the second time within the last week on Thursday, April 2. Now they depart for a two-game road trip. They'll face the Philadelphia 76ers at Xfinity Mobile Arena on Saturday, and then fly south to play the Orlando Magic on Monday.
The Pistons’ magic number is one to clinch the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs. One win or one Boston Celtics loss will give the Pistons home court in the first three rounds of the playoffs.
The Pistons are 3-0 against the 76ers this season, but none of the games have involved Joel Embiid or Paul George. Do not expect Embiid to play on the second night of a back-to-back. He has not played back-to-backs all season.
The 76ers come off a big win Friday over Minnesota, 115-103, and catch the Pistons still without Cunningham, who suffered a collapsed lung and will miss his 10th consecutive game. The Pistons are 7-2 without him in that stretch. Daniss Jenkins, the former two-way player , will again start at point guard.
