The Philadelphia 76ers will host the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday, Nov. 5 at the Wells Fargo Center, with the tip slated for 7:00 p.m.

The King will soon be in Philadelphia.

LeBron James and the reigning NBA Champion Cleveland Cavaliers will make their way to the City of Brotherly Love to face off with the Philadelphia 76ers for a Saturday evening matchup (tipoff 7:00 p.m.) at the Wells Fargo Center on Nov. 5.

The Cavs, who are the favorites to represent the Eastern Conference in the upcoming NBA Finals, are undefeated at 5-0 this season.

More from The Sixer Sense

Along with James, Cleveland has All-Stars Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving, as well as a solid core of Tristan Thompson, J.R. Smith, Iman Shumpert, Channing Frye and a handful of other decent role-players.

The Sixers, on the other hand, are winless at 0-4 and are not expected to be a playoff contender.

While Joel Embiid looks like a star, and Dario Saric coming off of back-to-back solid performances, the Sixers don’t match up well with the Cavaliers at all (few teams do, in Philly’s defense).

It’ll be a classic tale of David vs. Goliath, but there will be plenty to watch for throughout the game.
