Preview Roundups
October 16, 2018
Philadelphia at Boston 8:00 PM ET
The Boston Celtics are considered the Eastern Conference favorites and they will open the season at home on Tuesday against another contender in the visiting Philadelphia 76ers. LeBron James' departure from Cleveland has elevated Boston into the team to beat after it lost to the Cavaliers in last season's conference finals.
Oklahoma City at Golden State 10:30 PM ET
The Golden State Warriors could look like a very different team at the start of the 2019-2020 season, so they're going to going to go for broke in 2018-19. The Warriors will begin the defense of their latest title when they open the season by hosting the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday.
