The NBA schedule is here. And unlike last season's unveiling that broke games into first and second halves, we know all 1,230 games up front.
The 2021-22 season tips off on Oct. 19 with the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks hosting the Brooklyn Nets on ring night. The last time these two Eastern Conference titans faced off, Kevin Durant was inches away from sending the Nets to the Finals, leading to an epic Game 7 overtime thriller that went to Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks.
Following Nets-Bucks, the Los Angeles Lakers will unveil their new Big Three of LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook -- Big Four if you include new Laker Carmelo Anthony -- in a Staples Center showdown against the Golden State Warriors.
