PHILADELPHIA 76ERS
v DETROIT PISTONS

Matchup History

Since joining the NBA in 1949 and moving from Fort Wayne, Indiana to Detroit, Michigan in 1957, the Pistons have played the Philadelphia 76ers 391 times, with the Sixers holding an impressive 233-158 advantage. The Pistons, a team that in the 1980s built its reputation on toughness by dubbing themselves "The Bad Boys" and boasting All-Star names like Isiah Thomas and Dennis Rodman, still surrendered to Julius Erving on December 11, 1982, when “Dr. J” recorded his career high in field goals made (20).

After years of boasting prolific talent, like Grant Hill, Rasheed Wallace, Ben Wallace, and Chauncey Billups, the Pistons are reloading with young talent through the NBA Draft, with the first overall pick from 2021, Cade Cunningham, rising star Jaden Ivey, and others. During the 2022-23 season, the Sixers swept the Pistons in their three matchups. Their final matchup of that season was January 10, 2023 with a blowout win of 147-116, and Tyrese Maxey recorded his 100th career steal.

The 76ers swept their 2023-24 season series against the Pistons. Their first matchup of the season on November 10 was in the first ever NBA In-Season Tournament, where the Sixers defeated the Pistons on the road with a final score of 114-106. On December 13, the 76ers visited Detroit, winning 129-111. Embiid recorded 41 points in the first three quarters. Their back-to-back game at the Center on December 15 resulted in another commanding win from the Sixers with a final score of 124-92. They faced off for the last time of the season on April 9 with Embiid scoring 37 points in a 76ers win.

In 2024-25, the Sixers and Pistons will face off in three games, the first of which is in Philadelphia on October 30. The 76ers visit Detroit to face the Pistons on the road on November 30 and February 7.
