NBA Opening Night game previews:
Cavs vs. Knicks
It’s ring night for the Cleveland Cavaliers. The crowd will be roaring celebrating the Cavs championship they won in game 7 on the road at Oracle Arena. The Cavs don’t have any major changes other than they’ve had a full training camp with Tyronn Lue as head coach
The Knicks have a new coach in Jeff Hornacek and big roster moves. Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah, Courtney Lee and Brandon Jennings are now Knicks. Will they come together on opening night to challenge the champs?
Catch this game as the first game of tonight’s TNT doubleheader.
Warriors vs. Spurs
The biggest free agent of 2016 makes his debut with his new team. Kevin Durant is a Warrior now and will start alongside the Splash Brothers against the Tim Duncan-less Spurs.
You know Oracle Arena will be rockin’ for this game. They were able to lure Durant to the Bay area and anything less than a NBA Championship this season will be hugely disappointing.
The Spurs brought in Pau Gasol to fill Tim Duncan’s spot. The Spurs will hope to pair him with LaMarcus Aldridge and pound the Warriors in the post. Who will Kawhi Leonard guard? He’ll be run ragged on defense.
Watch this game as the second game of tonight’s TNT doubleheader.
Trail Blazers vs. Jazz
This game is largely overshadowed by the night’s other two games. These are two teams with playoff hopes. The Blazers upgraded a playoff team from last year bringing in Evan Turner.
George Hill joins a Jazz team trying to improve enough to grab a playoff spot this season. They were a team that improved in the second half of last season and look to be competitive this year. The Blazers took 3 of 4 last year against the Jazz.
