There are also numerous highlight games in the following months. Among other things, the Christmas Games, which, like every year, mean a full program will be exciting. The Lakers, Bucks, Nets, Warriors and Mavericks, among others, are in action.
The first games of changed players in their former arena are eagerly awaited. From a German point of view, of course, Dennis Schröder’s return to the Staples Center should be mentioned, otherwise we can look forward to Kyle Lowry’s first game in Toronto in heat dress, for example.
The big highlights are of course the direct games of the title favorites for Lakes, Bucks, Warriors and Nets as well as Doncic’s appearances against the Big Guns.
