PHILADELPHIA -- Andrew Bynum has no idea if he will play for the Philadelphia 76ers this season.

 

Evan Turner and Jrue Holiday are playing the role of go-to scorers just fine in his absence.

 

Turner had 18 points and 11 rebounds, Holiday scored 25 points and the Sixers beat the Detroit Pistons 104-97 on Monday night.

 

Turner hit the winning shot in the final seconds of overtime on Friday against Boston. Holiday took his turn with a 12-point fourth quarter against the Pistons. Holiday thrived off the pick-and-roll all game and buried a pair of pull-up jumpers in the final two minutes that returned the lead to five.

 

Holiday and Turner combined for a 19-for-33 effort from the floor with 15 assists.

 

"I thought Jrue and myself would be successful," said Turner, who made eight of his 13 shots. "When we play like this, we have a great chance at winning games. Tonight, we did that."

 

They sure did. The Sixers needed the lift after Bynum said before the game his left knee is causing him too much pain to play. The Sixers have played without him all year. They're getting used to having Turner and Holiday carry them, and it could be a familiar show for the rest of the season.
