Opening Night in the NBA is here, and you can watch every game with DraftKings Sportsbook— and here’s how. When you sign up with DraftKings’ new promo, you can get three months of NBA League Pass for free!
The Oklahoma City Thunder start their title defense tonight, as MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander leads them against the Houston Rockets at 7:30 p.m. ET.
Houston added superstar Kevin Durant in the offseason, as the two-time Finals MVP joins the fifth team of his career.
Following up that game, the Los Angeles Lakers play the Golden State Warriors. The Lakers will take the court without superstar LeBron James as he recovers from an injury.
Luckily for the Lakers, they have another superstar who can lead them to an Opening Night win. Luka Doncic will have the offense flowing through him as they take on Stephen Curry and his Warriors.
