After the first two games of the opening night, the NBA got into full swing with 12 more matches.

The Detroit Pistons won over the Orlando Magic 113-109, but Paolo Banchero, the first overall pick in the last draft, debuted with 27 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists: only LeBron James had managed such a feat.

Simone Fontecchio also officially started his adventure with the Utah Jazz but stayed on the court less than a minute.
