Kevin Durant will return to Oklahoma City with his new team on opening night, and he will also witness his old team hoist the NBA championship banner. LeBron James and Stephen Curry will square off in the other game, which will feature another all-star Western Conference class.

The Nuggets will play the Timberwolves in a rematch of the 2024 Western Conference Finals on Christmas. In addition, Cooper Flagg and the revamped Mavs will go to San Francisco to play the Warriors and Curry. The Cavaliers will travel to Madison Square Garden to play the Knicks in the only Eastern Conference game.
