3 big storylines to follow on opening night for the NBA. 

Opening night for the 2021-22 NBA season is finally here. After somewhat of a normal offseason, the NBA is looking to get back on schedule after two seasons that were directly impacted by a global pandemic.

Even though we’re still very much in that same pandemic, the hope is that this season is going to look a little more normal. In that very sense, there are plenty of circumstances around the league right now that are abnormal.

And on the NBA’s opening night, there will be plenty of storylines that key around those circumstances.

The league will open its new season with an action-packed double-header that tips off with a clash between Eastern Conference giants – the Brooklyn Nets vs. Milwaukee Bucks. The late-night cap features the Golden State Warriors facing off against the Los Angeles Lakers.

With so much intrigue on opening night, we explore the three biggest storylines to follow on this glorious day for the NBA.
