Joel Embiid will be making his season debut after tending to a knee injury and serving a suspension. Embiid and the 76ers will be hosting the New York Knicks as part of East Group A in the Emirates NBA Cup. You can watch that game live on TNT at 7:30 ET.

The Warriors are looking to stay hot against the Mavericks. Golden State jumped out to a 7-1 start, including a win on the road against the 9-2 Celtics, before falling to the Cavaliers. They rebounded quickly, showing their start has been no fluke, with a win over the Thunder. They’ll be hosting the Mavericks, who have lost their last two games in close fashion against the surging Nuggets and 8-2 Phoenix. Oh, and it’s also the return to the bay for Klay Thompson.
