The wait is over. The NBA regular season returns on Thursday as seeding games begin at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.

Opening day features an all-Western Conference lineup as the Jazz face the Pelicans (6:30 p.m., TNT) and the Lakers take on the Clippers (9 p.m., TNT).

Here is a look at the 13 teams from the Western Conference participating in the restart.
