TNT will have an interesting pair of games to kick off their weekly double-headers.
First, the clash of Eastern Conference titans between the Philadelphia 76ers and Milwaukee Bucks. Both are projected right next to one another in the standings and boast Most Valuable Player candidates. There will be a battle for Eastern Conference supremacy on Thursday night.
Following that Eastern Conference blockbuster is a more interesting and unknown matchup between the Los Angeles Clipper and Los Angeles Lakers. Both have significant questions heading into the seasons and their battle on Thursday night will be an ideal litmus test for both squads to see where they are at early in the season.
