The Detroit Pistons are set to make history with their first appearance in the NBA In-Season Tournament this Friday, competing against yet another team led by a superstar.
The Pistons have had a spectacular run over the last few games, but it’s surprising that they’ve lost the last six games in this stretch.
During this losing streak, the Pistons have faced off against Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Kevin Durant, Steph Curry, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and now Joel Embiid. It’s undoubtedly a grueling stretch given the immense talent in the NBA.

The Pistons have had opportunities to win within this challenging stretch but have failed to capitalize. Despite an exhilarating comeback against the Bucks, they faltered and lost by two points. They also missed chances to win against the Portland Trail Blazers and Warriors.
This tough journey culminates in a clash with the red-hot 76ers, who boast a 6-1 record this year and recently triumphed against the Boston Celtics post the James Harden trade to the Clippers.
The Pistons are placed in East Group A of the In-Season Tournament, with Friday marking the initial game of group play. Following this, the Pistons will battle Atlanta at home and face Cleveland and Indiana on the road.
Here’s an overview of the Pistons vs. 76ers game, encompassing TV and streaming details, the injury report, and anticipated starting lineups.
