The Philadelphia 76ers lock horns against the Detroit Pistons in a blockbuster intraconference regular-season game on Sunday. The Sixers are on the backend of a back-to-back, which rules Joel Embiid out of the contest. The one-time All-Star remains unavailable for back-to-back games, with the Sixers taking a cautious approach to managing his workload.Embiid suited up on Saturday against the Toronto Raptors and helped the Sixers record a 130-120 win. The 7-foot center delivered his season-best performance and dominated on both ends of the floor. He finished with 29 points, six rebounds, four assists and one block in 26 minutes, shooting 10-of-16 from the floor, including 1-of-4 from beyond the arc.Without Embiid, Philadelphia's task becomes even more daunting, especially when they face a red-hot Detroit Pistons squad. Cade Cunningham's Pistons are sitting at the top of the Eastern Conference standings with a superb 7-2 record. The Sixers will depend on Tyrese Maxey and the other young guns to step up even more on Sunday.Meanwhile, Paul George remains sidelined, with his long-awaited season debut still on hold. The veteran forward is close to making his comeback and is currently ramping up after recovering from a knee injury. Furthermore, Dominick Barlow also remains out with an elbow injury.The Sixers have also started the season strong, despite Joel Embiid missing games and playing limited minutes when healthy. Tyrese Maxey's offensive explosion has led Philadelphia to third in the conference standings with a 6-3 record.How to watch Detroit Pistons vs. Philadelphia 76ers?The Detroit Pistons vs. Philadelphia 76ers game will take place on Sunday at the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
