The 2024-25 NBA season gets into full swing tonight. The action begins with the New York Knicks traveling to the reigning champion, the Boston Celtics (7:30 pm ET, TNT), followed by the Los Angeles Lakers hosting the Minnesota Timberwolves (10 pm ET, TNT).
Top storylines entering the season include whether the Celtics will defend their title and secure a 19th championship; if Nikola Jokić will win a fourth MVP in five years; how father-and-son duo LeBron and Bronny James will fare; and how offseason moves, like four-time NBA champion Klay Thompson signing with the Dallas Mavericks, will shape the league landscape. See all the storylines here.
This season will also feature the second annual in-season tournament—a monthlong round-robin competition, which includes all 30 teams and counts toward teams' regular season records. Games begin Nov. 12, culminating with the NBA Cup awarded Dec. 17 in Las Vegas.
