I actually like the way Detroit matches up with Philly this year and think there are some advantages for Detroit to exploit. I predict that Detroit will reverse their fortunes against Philly and take two of three, winning both homes games at LCA.

Prediction: Detroit wins 2-1

Philly will undoubtedly be one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference this year and Detroit needs to knock them off if they want to be noticed in the East. This is hopefully the year that Drummond finally gets the best of Embiid on the court, though I’m not holding out much hope for Twitter.
