The new NBA schedule is out and there are a lot of interesting games to keep an eye on. Here’s what you need to know about the new schedule. The first thing to note is that the season will start a bit earlier than usual, on October 22nd. This is because the 2020 Olympics are being held in Tokyo and the NBA wants to avoid having the season overlap with the Olympics. The schedule is also condensed this season, with each team playing 72 games instead of the usual 82. This is because the league wants to finish the regular season before the Olympics begin.
There are a lot of marquee matchups on the schedule, including several games between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Los Angeles Clippers. These two teams are currently the favorites to win the NBA title, so these games could be a preview of the NBA Finals. Other interesting games include a Christmas Day matchup between the Golden State Warriors and the Milwaukee Bucks, as well as a Martin Luther King Jr. Day showdown between the Warriors and the Brooklyn Nets. So mark your calendars and get ready for an exciting NBA season!
