The 2017-2018 NBA season tips off October 16 at 8:00 PM with a doubleheader that you’re not going to want to miss.
Lebron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers will host their conference rivals, the Boston Celtics, led by their newest addition in point guard Kyrie Irving. It will mark the first matchup between Irving and his former team. After this game, we will see the Golden State Warriors led by last year’s Finals MVP Kevin Durant taking on James Harden and the Houston Rockets. After acquiring Chris Paul in the offseason, the Rockets are another team with a brand new point guard who look to start off their season with a win over the league’s reigning champions.
Be sure to tune in prior to all the action to catch the “NBA Tip-Off” Pregame Show at 7:00 PM, hosted by Ernie Johnson and friends. Stay tuned after the doubleheader to check back in with them during the post-game show, “Inside The NBA.”
