Here’s the 2016 NBA season schedule!
As Team USA gears up for the first 5-on-5 scrimmage game tomorrow, the official NBA season schedule has been revealed for the upcoming 2016 season. Opening night, as you can see above will feature four marquee teams among the league – including both NBA finalist headlining each game. LeBron James and his healthy Cleveland Cavaliers travel to familiar and hostile territory against the Chicago Bulls, while the Anthony Davis look to showcase his talents in the spotlight during the nightcap against the 2015 World Champion Golden State Warriors.
Only three teams do not have a game in 2015-16 currently slated for ESPN, ABC or TNT: the Denver Nuggets, Detroit Pistons and Philadelphia 76ers (thank you higher powers).
Take a look at games to watch during Opening Week & X-Mas action below, as well as highlights for the seasons.
