NBA schedule 2022 Ranking the 10 best ga

We are still months away from the NBA season beginning, but we can now do some planning.On Wednesday, the league released the schedules for all 30 teams. That means we now know Carl Granderson Jersey who the Warriors will be playing on ring night, which teams will go head-to-head on Christmas Day, when players will make their long-awaited returns to play against their former teams and much, much more.While there are a lot of games to be excited about, here are 10 I have circled. 10. Magic at ThunderDate: Nov. 1The first of many meetings to come between Paolo Banchero and Chet Holmgren, the top two picks in the 2022 NBA Draft.TSN's draft expert Kyle Irving thinks Banchero has , and Holmgren is one of the most unique prospectswe've seen in a long time a 7-footer who blocks a boatload of shots and cans 3s with ease.Expect to see them both put their potential on full display as they face off for the first time.MORE:9. Zion Williamson's returnDate: Oct. 19?Williamson proved himself to be must-see TV in the 2020-21 season. Appearing in 61 games, he earned the first All-Star selection of his career with averages of 27.0 points, 7.2 rebounds and 3.7 a sists per game on 61.1 percent shooting from the field.Williamson , showed off some and, well, put together a career's worth of highlights in one season.No, seriously.Unfortunately, Williamson mi sed the entire 2021-22 season after undergoing foot surgery. It's still unknown exactly when he will return, but he was . Fingers cro sed that means he's on track to play in game No. 1, which is against the Nets on Oct. 19.8. Lakers at CavaliersDate: Dec. 6It's always a show when LeBron James returns to Cleveland. Adding to the intrigue is that the Cavaliers are finally building something special without him. Jarrett Allen, 24, and Darius Garland Terron Armstead Jersey , 22, were named All-Stars last season, and Evan Mobley, 21, has all of the makings of a future star.Don't sleep on Cleveland's future.7. Nets at 76ersDate: Nov. 22Ah yes, the long-awaited Ben Simmons return game.The No. 1 pick in the 2016 NBA Draft, Simmons became a three-time All-Star and one-time member of the All-NBA team in Philadelphia, but his time with the franchisedidn't exactly end on the best of terms, sparked by perhaps the most talked about in NBA history.Even if Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving are no longer on the Nets, all eyes will be on this game.You know Philly fans have been waiting for this one.MORE:6. Nuggets at 76ersDate: Jan. 28Remember when people thought centers were becoming extinct? Nikola Jokic and Joel Embiid had something to say about that.Jokic has taken home the last two MVP awards, joining to go back-to-back. Coming off of a season that saw him average a career-high and league-best 30.6 points per game, Embiid has finished runner-up to Jokic in MVP voting in each of the last two seasons.With Jokic being in the Western Conference and Embiid being in the Eastern Conference, the two superstars play each other twice a season. And due to injuries, we've only seen them share the court since they were drafted in 2014.Don't take any matchup between the two-best centers in the NBA for granted.5. Mavericks at SunsDate: Oct. 19The last time the Mavericks and Suns met was, uh, memorable.Tied at 3-3 in the second round of the playoffs, the Suns hosted the Mavericks for Game 7 and proceeded to lose by 33 points, making for ever on that stage.It'll be interesting to see how the Suns rebound from such an embarra sing lo s in general will it break them apart or bring them closer together? but their first meeting of the season with the Mavericks will give Caleb Benenoch Jersey them an opportunity for some good ol' fashioned revenge.It helps that there's no shortage of star power in this matchup. Luka Doncic, Devin Booker and Chris Paul are among the best players in the league, and the Suns are expecting big things out of Deandre Ayton after matching a four-year, $132.9 million offer sheet for him this offseason.4. Bucks at CelticsDate: Dec. 25If you need to be reminded of what Giannis Antetokounmpo averaged in Milwaukee's second-round series with Boston in the 2022 NBA Playoffs: 33.9 points, 14.7 rebounds, 7.1 a sists and 1.1 blocks per game.Pure and utter dominance.Giannis was a BEAST in the Eastern Conference Semis, averaging 33.9 PPG, 14.7 RPG, and 7.1 APG Check out some of his best plays from the series against the Celtics. NBA (@NBA) The Celtics came out on top in seven hard-fought games, of course, but the Bucks were without their second-leading scorer in Khris Middleton, who was sidelined with a knee injury. Many believe the Bucks would've come out on top had Middleton been healthy.We can only hope for a playoff rematch to settle the debate, but for now, this regular-season matchup on Christmas Day, no le s will do.3. Grizzlies at WarriorsDate: Dec. 25Not only did the Grizzlies and Warriors battle in the second round of the 2022 NBA Playoffs, but a healthy amount of trash talk has been exchanged in the months since.First, Klay Thompson called Jaren Jackson Jr. out for his "Strength in numbers" tweet."I can't wait to retweet that thing. Freakin' bum."Klay's Deonte Harris Jersey been keeping receipts Warriors on NBCS (@NBCSWarriors) Then, Ja Morant got Draymond Green going with a rather simple tweet.We traded that real estate in the property value was higher in Boston Draymond Green (@Money23Green) Yeah, both teams will have this game circled.Beyond the brewing rivalry, few matchups are as exciting as Stephen Curry vs. Ja Morant. Will Clapp Jersey Curry is , but Morant is , one play at a time. They're both practically unguardable but in very different ways.This will mark the first time the Grizzlies have ever played on Christmas Day.2. Warriors at CelticsDate: Jan. 19A rematch of the 2022 NBA Finals, which saw the Warriors win their fourth title in eight seasons and Stephen Curry win his first Finals MVP award with a masterful showing.Between Klay Thompson being further removed from his injuries and the development of their young guys,the Warriors have reason to believe they could be even better next season. The Celtics do too. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown are still only scratching the surface of their potential, and Boston by trading for Malcolm Brogdon and signing Danilo Gallinari this offseason.The NBA is so loaded right now that it's hard to predict which teams will make it to the Finals, but the Warriors and Celtics returning to the mountaintop wouldn't come as a huge surprise.MORE:1. LeBron James becomes all-time leading scorerDate: TBDLast season, we got to see Stephen Curry become the NBA's all-time leader in 3-pointers made. This season, we might get to see LeBron James become the league's all-time leading scorer.James enters the 2022-23 season with 37,062 career poi
