Everything begins for the Detroit Pistons on October 17 as they take on the Brooklyn Nets at Little Ceasars Arena.
Opening night is always a massive occasion, particularly for a franchise like the Pistons.
With fan support extremely hard to come by and playoff games a rare occurrence in recent years, season openers have often been the biggest and grandest stage they have had a chance to play on.
This was the case last season when they kicked off the season against the Charlotte Hornets in their newly opened arena.
A reported 20,491 fans filled Little Ceasars Arena to see a new era of Pistons basketball begin as they defeated the Charlotte Hornets 102-90.
