While portions of the schedule have leaked out
over the past several days, the NBA released its full-season,
team-by-team schedule on Thursday, and the focus is on last
season's playoff teams in the early days.
The clash between the Lakers and Nuggets will be nationally
televised, and Denver players will receive their championship
rings before the game, which is set to tip at 7:30 p.m. ET. It
will be followed by the Phoenix Suns' visit to the Golden State
Warriors, when three-time NBA All-Star Bradley Beal of Phoenix
and 12-time NBA All-Star Chris Paul of Golden State debut with
their new teams.
In the first five days of the season, the 10 nationally
televised games will feature three rematches from the 2023 NBA
playoffs.
The NBA previously shared its plans for its inaugural in-season
tournament, which will start Nov. 3, and on Thursday confirmed
its always-anticipated NBA slate of Christmas Day games:
Milwaukee Bucks at New York Knicks (noon ET), Warriors at
Nuggets (2:30 p.m.), Boston Celtics at Lakers (5 p.m.),
Philadelphia 76ers at Miami Heat (8 p.m.) and Dallas Mavericks
at Phoenix Suns (10:30 p.m.).
The regular season is scheduled to conclude April 14.
The 2024 play-in tournament will run from April 16-19, with the
playoffs beginning April 20. Game 1 of the 2024 NBA Finals will
start June 6.
