Philadelphia and Detroit Meet in Eastern Conference Showdown
Le premier dimanche NBA de la saison propose une affiche entre les Sixers et les Pistons à 0h30 qui met aux prises deux équipes invaincues. Detroit enters the contest after claiming the top spot in the Eastern Conference standings last season, while Philadelphia carries an unblemished 3-0 record into the back-to-back fixture.
Roster availability shapes the late-night contest at the Wells Fargo Center. LeBron James, mis au repos la veille, devrait jouer ce soir face au Jazz. Meanwhile, Joel Embiid is listed as out due to right plantar fasciitis management for the 76ers back to back game, despite expressing a desire to play, according to reports.
