3 Bold Predictions for Sixers vs. Pistons: Saddiq Bey Should Continue Strong Start
By Peter Dewey
The Philadelphia 76ers will play their second game against the Detroit Pistons this season on Thursday night.
WynnBET has Detroit as a 4.5-point underdog in the matchup. I have my eye on a few player props in this one, so let’s make some bold predictions for Sixers-Pistons:
Bold Predictions for Sixers vs. Pistons
- Killian Hayes OVER 0.5 3-Pointers Made (+105)
- Saddiq Bey OVER 21.5 Points, Rebounds and Assists (-112)
- Isaiah Stewart OVER 6.5 Rebounds (+125)

Killian Hayes OVER 0.5 3-Pointers Made (+105)
Killian Hayes has gotten off to a slow start this season, averaging just 5.7 points per game and shooting 28.0 percent from the field and 33.3 percent from beyond the arc.
However, he has hit a 3-pointer in four of his last five games, including a 2-for-4 performance from beyond the arc against the Milwaukee Bucks.
All Hayes has to do tonight is make one shot from deep, and he’s attempting at least four in three of his last four games. I’ll take a chance on him making a 3-ball tonight in a game the Pistons will likely be trailing.
Saddiq Bey OVER 21.5 Points, Rebounds and Assists (-112)
Saddiq Bey has built on a strong rookie season to start this year, averaging 14.1 points, 7.9 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game.
In his first game against the Sixers this season, Bey put up 19 points, six rebounds and two assists. I think he’s being a bit undervalued in this prop, especially considering his rebounding prowess so far this season. Give me the over.
Isaiah Stewart OVER 6.5 Rebounds (+125)
Isaiah Stewart is averaging 6.7 rebounds per game this season, but he only grabbed three boards in the Pistons’ first matchup with Philly. However, Stewart played a season-low in minutes in that game and I think he’s due for a bounce back.
The former first-round pick has gone over this number in five of his seven games this season, and while the Sixers allow the 10th fewest opponent rebounds per game this season, I think Stewart has value at +125.
