Philadelphia 76ers vs. Detroit Pistons – Oct. 26, 2019
On Saturday, October 26, the Philadelphia 76ers will travel to Detroit, in what was one of the most fun matchups from last season.
One thing to look out for is the continued rivalry of Andre Drummond and Joel Embiid. In their first matchup of the year at Little Caesars Arena, Embiid was able to get in the head of the All-Star center, and Drummond eventually was tossed from the game.

The Pistons ended up winning the matchup in Philadelphia after an overtime period, thanks to a career-high, 50-point performance from Blake Griffin. The 76ers took the next three games in the series, and Drummond struggled in his matchup with Embiid.
The environment at Little Caesars Arena will be extremely fun, as these two teams don’t appear to like each other very much. The 76ers also have a new starting five, swapping out Jimmy Butler for Josh Richardson and signing the Celtics big man Al Horford.
