Celtics – Knicks and Lakers – Timberwolves will be the first matches of an exciting NBA season. Will someone be able to dethrone the Boston Celtics? This is the question that every fan of the best league in the world asks themselves.

In addition, in the Western Conference, the Oklahoma City Thunder have many options thanks to the great additions they have made and the fact that their best young players have one more year of experience

The big attraction of tonight’s games will be seeing LeBron James in this twenty-second NBA season and this one will be more special than any other, because he will play on the same as his son Bronny James . In front of them will be the Minnesota Timberwolves and Anthony Edwards , one of the most promising young players and who will be excited to show that he can be the new face of the league

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Luka Doncic, Giannis Antetokounmpo or Victor Wembanyama will be some of the most interesting names in this new season. Not forgetting Nikola Jokic, the last MVP winner . Will any American win this award seven years later? At the national level, Spain will have only one player in this NBA season , Santiago Aldama of the Memphis Grizzlies . However, the Catalan Jordi Fernández will debut at the head of the Brooklyn Nets , being the first Spanish coach to manage a franchise. 

Everything is ready. Over the next eight months, all 30 NBA teams will be fighting for the ring. We have a thrilling NBA season ahead, where everything can happen, with the excitement, tension and drama guaranteed. Let the show begin.
