The Detroit Pistons take on the Chicago Bulls at United Center on Saturday evening.

The Pistons (1-0) were able to squeak by the Brooklyn Nets in their regular-season opener last Wednesday by a 103-100 score at Little Caesar's Arena. The visitors took Detroit to the limit in a back-and-forth fourth quarter until Reggie Jackson was able to seal the victory with two late free throws. Blake Griffin, beginning his first full season in Motown, led the way with 26 points, eight rebounds and six assists. Andre Drummond turned in a trademark 24-point, 20-rebound double-double that also included two assists and a block. Jackson complemented both of their efforts with 19 points, four assists, two rebounds and a steal. Ish Smith led the second unit with 11 points.

The Pistons will come into Saturday's game without any injuries to report.

The Bulls (0-1) had a much rougher start to their season, as they were walloped by the Philadelphia 76ers, 130-112, on Thursday evening as well. Chicago had no answer for either Ben Simmons or Joel Embiid, who tallied a triple-double and double-double, respectively. Zach LaVine paced the Bulls with 30 points, five rebounds, three assists and three blocks. Bobby Portis supplied 20 points, 11 rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block. Antonio Blakeney registered 15 points, five rebounds and two assists. Jabari Parker matched Blakeney's scoring total in his Windy City debut.

The Bulls will be without Lauri Markkanen (elbow), Denzel Valentine (ankle), Mmer Asik (arthritic condition) and Kris Dunn (personal) for Saturday's contest, while Cristiano Felicio (ankle) will be a game-time decision.

The Pistons won the season series against the Bulls last year by a 3-1 margin, with all three wins coming by double digits.
