We have a Thursday night TNT doubleheader on tap!

- Dame makes his Bucks debut vs Joel and the Sixers!
- KD vs LeBron for the first time since 2018!

Please enjoy.

Is Brad back for the Suns? It's been a fun opening of the NBA season.

Beal AND Booker doubtful tonight [hence the ~6 point spread]

Lakers lost the opener, no chance they are losing tonight with both Book and Beal out, unless we get a vintage KD performance.

KD is a freakin kryptonite where ever he goes. If he's not injured, then one of his all-star teammate is. I almost feel bad for him. I don't remember when the last time his team goes healthy through a full season.

Would be nice to have a KD vs Lebron game where both teams are at full strength.

Booker is injuried already? And the not as amazing Beal is still out. Another televised game missing star players and it’s only the third day. Lakers get an easy win

Night 3 and we already have teams openly defying the rest policy.

Players, teams and the league need to realize this is their money. Networks aren’t gonna pay for mostly crap games.

2 games tonight, and 3 all-star level players out (Beal, Booker, Harden)... and the NBA wants more money for this product?
