Brooklyn NetsTip-off at 7:30 p.m. ET
The 76ers went 45-37 last season and were swept by the Knicks in the Eastern Conference semifinals. The Nets missed the playoffs. The power rankings have Philadelphia 15th and Brooklyn 26th.
An early look, from the NBA’s rosters as of Oct. 7, 2026. The lineups and inactive players come on game day.
From the NBA’s player tracking when they met last season: each scorer against the defender who guarded him most, compared with how he scored against everyone else. Most scorers score less against whoever guards them most, about three quarters of their rate against everyone else, so a gap like that is the usual one.
