NBA opening week games to watch
There’s so much to watch for in the NBA’s opening week of the season, but here’s what we’re most looking forward to.
The Cooper Flagg era in Dallas begins Wednesday night. The 2025 No. 1 overall pick has a lot of hype behind him, and his first game could be a taste of what is to come.
However, standing in his way is another highly-touted former No. 1 overall pick in San Antonio’s Victor Wembanyama. After missing a good chunk of last season, suffering from deep vein thrombosis, Wembanyama is back to terrorize interiors across the league.
The future of the NBA will be on display in this intrastate matchup. Here’s everything to know for fans looking to watch the action.
The Spurs put together a 10-0 scoring run to lead the Mavericks 14-8 with 7:29 left in the first quarter.
