Pistons-Sixers highlighted by Andre Drummond-Joel Embiid matchup

AUBURN HILLS - Andre Drummond-Joel Embiid is becoming one of the NBA's more intriguing individual matchups, if not on the court, certainly off of it.

The big men will battle again Saturday afternoon when the Detroit Pistons (4-3) visit the Philadelphia 76ers (5-4) at Wells Fargo Center (1 p.m., Fox Sports Detroit).

The Pistons defeated the Sixers 133-132 in overtime Oct. 23 behind a career-high 50 points from Blake Griffin.

Drummond wasn't around in OT, after receiving his second technical foul in the final minute of the fourth quarter, resulting in an ejection. Officials ruled that Drummond's hand contacted Embiid's head following a Sixers basket.
