One NBA insider claims the Phoenix Suns will be the featured team on opening night of NBA celebrations, which is likely to be announced within the next seven to ten days.

Shams Charania of The Athletic claims the 2023–24 season will kιck off with the Suns traveling to face the Golden State Warriors. Also on Oct. 24, the Los Angeles Lakers will play host to the Denver Nuggets.

According to sources of @TheAthletic @Stadium, “JUST IN: Opening Night schedule for the 2023-24 NBA season will air on TNT on October 24.

Golden State Warriors vs. Phoenix SunsAfter unexpectedly early exits from the playoffs last season, both Phoenix and Golden State have had productive offseasons as they try to reload for the next season in the Pacific Division.

With the addition of Bradley Beal and other significant signings in free agency to give depth, the Suns have arguably made the most noise of any team so far. And head coach Monty Williams was let go in favor of Frank Vogel.

With Beal, Kevin Durant, and Devin Booker on the roster, the Suns are favored to make a deep run in the Western Conference, if not reach the NBA Finals.

While most of the core remаins the same, the Warriors are hoping to get back to the championship level they’re used to. Draymond Green returned to the Warriors and was greeted by Steph Curry and Klay Thompson after a brief stint as a free agent. The Warriors also acquired guard Chris Paul from the Phoenix Suns in exchange for forward Jordan Poole from the Washingtоn Wizards.

Opening night’s speculated schedule seems good in both games, and the league usually does a wonderful job of putting together great lineups on important days.
