The start of the 2022-23 NBA season is finally here. No more training camp scrimmages, preseason games, or prediction exercises. Instead, we finally get to see how teams will perform with their new rosters and with fresh starts.

The NBA opening night slate begins with a doubleheader Tuesday night (tonight) and will continue with a full slate Wednesday (and through the rest of the week). Even though it is just the first week of the season, there will be plenty of storylines to follow.
