The NBA released the 2023-24 regular season schedule on Thursday, with a doubleheader between the Los Angeles Lakers versus the Denver Nuggets and Phoenix Suns against the Golden State Warriors kicking off the season on October 24.
The schedule features 100 games across ESPN and ABC, starting with the Celtics at the Knicks on October 25.
The five Christmas Day games were announced last week.
The schedule also includes the second annual NBA Rivals Week from January 23 to January 27.

The New York Knicks know they need to add another center to their roster. The Knicks currently have talented, but oft-injured, Mitchell Robinson as their starter. Behind him is Jericho Sims, who remains best as a third center. The search for a backup, who can also start when necessary, may lead New York to a familiar face.
The Knicks have remained in touch with Precious Achiuwa, about their backup center role. Achiuwa remains unsigned in free agency.
In 49 games (18 starts) after coming over from the Toronto Raptors in the OG Anunoby trade, Achiuwa averaged 7.6 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.1 blocks in 24.2 minutes per game. At 6-foot-8, Achiuwa is undersized for a traditional center, but his strength and athleticism help him hold up against much bigger players.
New York is also looking into acquiring a higher-salaried veteran via the trade market. Those talks were termed as more casual than serious, at this point.
They went head-to-head in four straight Finals.
